06: Beginners. How to Train for your first Marathon

from RunninggFree Podcast Hosted by Lauren Smith

Are you considering running your first endurance race? This episode is for you. Running a marathon was a 5 year process for me. In this episode, we break down the two things that actually matter: proving you're capable, and teaching you to train smart using lactate threshold science. Learn why 80% easy and 20% hard works, how to find your lactate threshold, and why the final kilometres don't have to destroy you. Join the 0.17% who've finished a marathon. Your marathon is waiting. Let's get to work.
