274. How Experienced At Running Should You Be Before A Marathon?

from Run4PRs · host Run4PRs

We talk a lot about marathon training on this podcast, but we should take a step back and chat about how to know if you are READY to train for your first marathon. It’s always about balancing risk vs reward. Training for a marathon is HARD on the body and if you don’t have a strong base going into the training you are increasing your risk of injury or burn out. We developed a prerequisite to marathon training plan a few years ago. This is a program you would do BEFORE starting your marathon training plan to ensure you are in a good place to marathon train. https://run4prs.co/2019/07/08/training-for-your-first-marathon-part-1/
