Hansons Marathon Method | with Luke Humphrey, Running Coach


Listen Later

Planning on doing a marathon this year?

Hansons Marathon Method tosses out mega-long runs and high-mileage weekends—two old-fashioned running traditions that often injure and discourage runners. Runners using the Hansons method will gradually build-up to the moderate-high mileage required for marathon success, spreading those miles more sensibly throughout the week. Running easy days mixed with precisely paced speed, strength, and tempo workouts, runners will steel their bodies and minds to run the hardest final miles of the marathon—and finish strong.

Luke Humphrey, Running Coach and the Author of Hansons Marathon Method joins me on the show today to tell us all about this novel approach to marathon training.
