How to Maximize Your Marathon Fitness in Between Marathons


Listen Later

If you are always training for a marathon, you might actually get worse at it.

How is this possible?  And what should you do instead to actually get better at the marathon?

Today we’re going to go into the best way to maximize your fitness in between marathon training cycles.  We’ll go over:

  • Why taking too much time off isn’t a great idea

  • How to shift your training to build well-rounded fitness, and

  • How to spot the things you should focus on because they are not the same for all runners.

    If you are the type of runner who really wants to get better and better at the marathon and is willing to take a long-term view, listen up.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Informative and fun!

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐The Best Running Podcast on the Planet

    “If you are a runner and especially a plant-based athlete, the planted runner offers information that is science-based, practical and inspirational. Topics run the gamut from running form to endurance to injury prevention to plant-based nutrition made simple. Claire is a tremendously talented interviewer, likely because she is so very experienced herself. The guests are knowledgeable and clearly dedicated to passing their insights onto others. The podcast is a welcome companion on training runs as often as new podcasts are available. I also find myself returning to certain ones to glean every bit of information out of it I can. Thanks, Claire.”

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Great advice and easy to listen to

    “I was searching for a new running podcast and gave The Planted Runner a try. Wasn’t sure if it would be for vegan runners or exactly how it might connect with me. I loved it! Coach Claire Bartholic’s voice and background music are very easy to listen to. I especially liked her thoughts about result based goals vs process goals. Definitely adding this to my weekly playlist! Highly recommended.”
