#359 - The Missing Piece In Your Marathon Training

from Get Strong and Prosper Hosted by Meg Walker

Most marathon training plans get the running right and leave everything else out. In this episode, Coach Meg Walker breaks down the four pillars that standard plans consistently overlook: mobility, strength, fuelling, and mindset and why neglecting any one of them is what separates runners who arrive at the start line ready from those who just hope to make it to the finish. You'll learn why marathon running mechanics break down in the final 10 miles (and how to fix it before race day), what strength training for runners actually means, why chronically underfuelling is sabotaging your adaptation, and the consistency mindset shift that matters more than any single perfect session. Topics mentioned: marathon training plan, marathon preparation, strength training for runners, running mobility, hip flexor tightness, marathon fuelling, endurance nutrition, low energy availability, running mindset, spring marathon training, injury-free marathon.
