Marathoning, The Mount-Everest-Quest Of Running
Some say, that climbing Mount Everest would have been much easier if it had just been that little bit lower.
It is sort of the same thing with the marathon.
Because of its distance, it is extremely challenging for runners on all levels.
We have all heard of, or experienced the "marathon wall" around the 3/4th mark of a marathon.
At the same time, this challenge is probably what makes the marathon what it is..
Why An Individual Approach To A Marathon Training Schedule?
It is quite intriguing to see all the marathon theories out there.
A quick Google search gives you the answer. It is overflowing.
So what is this place ?
It is a place for marathon running also - but from a slightly different angle.
This is a place that want to focus on you,
as an individual runner.
with your own strength and weakness. Preferences and choices.
who wants to run a marathon.
Whether it is one of the big marathons, such as the New York Marathon, London Marathon, Berlin Marathon or Chicago..
Or maybe you are training for your first time low-key run as a marathon beginner.
A more individual approach means you can do less work for better results.
Which is more effective training.
And a more fun, interesting approach.
The Search For The Right Marathon Training Program...
It is quite easy to spend hours after hours on the internet trying to find the "right program".
And start off training without really being sure if this is the "right" kind of workouts to do.
Halfway through the training is not the time to find out that you are
overtrained,
undertrained,
injured
or chose the wrong marathon training plan.
What is much more fun is to train for a marathon when you know you are doing the right thing.
To a large motivation is very relative to the situation you put yourself in. This is a personal experience and the experience of many others "before you"
With a good "gut feeling" and positive training experiences, motivation comes much easier.
