HOW MANY MARATHONS IS TOO MANY?

🎙 Podcast Episode #180: Listen for more on this topic!

.

We want to get OFF the marathon hamster wheel (doing 2-3 marathons per year every year) if we want to get faster in the marathon. Doing 1️⃣ marathon every 12 months or 2️⃣ marathons in an 18 month period will help you get FASTER more quickly because you're able to focus on SPEED in shorter distances between the marathons 🙌

.

Many athletes can get away with doing more marathons early in their running/marathoning careers and still see big success, but as you get faster you will need to be a bit more structured & specific in how you frame your training to continue to see those results 💪

.

SWIPE in post to see a sample two year schedule to turn your 5K PACE into MARATHON PACE 🤩

.

➡️ There are MANY reasons to do more than one marathon per year. Maybe you got into a race for charity or maybe you're trying to become a Marathon Maniac by trying to run a certain number of marathons in a certain timeframe. We don't want to discount these reasons! We just want to provide the knowledge that running LESS marathons may be the key for you to get faster (if that's your goal)

.

We hope this helps you frame up the next few years of your training to reach your goals! 🏃‍♀️ Let us know if you have questions in the comments or DM us 💌
