If you run a marathon every month, this episode is not for you.

While that is amazing and inspirational, this episode is for those who prioritize quality over quantity.  

This is for runners who love the marathon more than any other distance and want to discover how to get your very best performance, no matter what your age or natural talent.

And to truly train to run your personal best marathon, year after year, you shouldn’t be running one month after month.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why always training for the marathon eventually backfires,
  • How many marathons per year is optimal, and
  • What to train for when you are not training for a marathon
  • This episode will give you lots of training ideas to plan your own in-between training cycle when you are not specifically training for 26.2 miles.  

    If you need more help, you can order my book The Planted Runner: Running Your Best With Plant-Based Nutrition wherever you get books or request a copy from your local library. And if you’d like help directly from me, you can check out my freebies, personal coaching, and sign up for my PR Team here
