From the title of this episode you can probably infer that we will be discussing Cross-Training in Episode 6 of the Marathon Training Series.

Whether you want to bike, swim, take part in HIIT classes, lift weights, do Zumba - it's all good and well and can help to supplement your running in your marathon training program.

In future episodes we will be discussing exactly how to fit these workouts into a standard periodization schedule, but for today's episode we give an in-depth look at different forms of cross-training, the importance, and how to incorporate these days and workouts into your overall schedule.

I hope you enjoy!

In Episode 5 of the Marathon Training Series we will be discussing speedwork! We will be talking specifically about the definitions, importance, and examples of the Tempo, Interval, and Fartlek Runs.

These are all massively important in building speed and both physical and mental resilience in preparation for race day. They should comprise about 20% of your overall weekly volume, but because they are so intense, allowing adequate recovery in between them is going to be crucial.

This was a fun one to record today and I do hope you enjoy the listen!

This was a local race for me that I really did enjoy. A small-town race with a flat and fast course, great vibes from the runners, volunteers, and spectators, with great energy all around.
