156. Building Your Marathon Training Plan For Fall Races

HOW TO BUILD UP FOR YOUR FALL RACE Podcast #156 🎙 . Many runners will begin a training cycle and jump into ❌ TOO MUCH ❌ TOO SOON . How can we avoid that and have a successful training cycle? . THE PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD PRINCIPLE This means:👇 ✅ Starting where you’re currently at ✅ Take the average number of miles you’ve run in the last 6 weeks and start there ✅ You want to avoid a big ramp up when your training cycle “begins” and make sure to only increase your mileage by MAX 10% each week ✅ You should feel like you’re holding back until peak weeks of training (2-4 weeks before your race, depending on race distance) ✅ You want to feel STRONG during your training cycle instead of very fatigued and struggling day to day . Have you ever felt very fatigued halfway through your training cycle, or like you “peaked too soon”? Let us know in the comments! ⬇️ .
