The Running Hub

In this week's episode we share our opinion on why we believe marathon plans don't always need to be 16 weeks. Research studies have also stated that 12 week plans can be more effective for experienced or advanced runners.

The crucial factor in deciding how long your block should be is, what did your training look like before, what do you need to work on next and break the cycle down into smaller blocks.

Our DMs are always open if you want to discuss this topic more and also in relation to your own training.

In this weeks episode we discuss a really important topic - fuelling. If you fuel your training correctly, you'll feel better, perform better and recover quicker.

Nutrition is a big topic in January as new training plans begin for spring races and runners begin training for their first marathon. We chat about how to fuel before your run, during the run and what to have after.

This is all based on our experiences and working with many athletes.
