16 Week Marathon Training
Set Yourself a Big Goal. You Will Achieve It.
What do you need to train for a marathon?
The first step is securing your place on a marathon then the hard work begins. Many stop resistance training to commit to more miles on the road but this could be leaving you vulnerable to injuries. When running long distances you burn muscle leaving you with less shock absorbing potential. If muscles are not there to handle the load, other areas of the body take the strain. Chris McKeown, a specialist in endurance training, will prepare for a big challenge but look forward to the feeling of accomplishment after 26.2 miles.
Overview of the program
- Work with our running specialist, Chris McKeown, who will assess your ability and create a training plan to help you achieve your time goals.
- Carbohydrates are fuel for marathon runners, the specialist nutritional plan will reflect this.
- High quality supplements including Magnesium, Zinc, Iron, Omega 3, Multi-vitamins and Vitamin D3 are recommended for best results.
Marathon Training Plans
We recommend training two times per week with us to maximise your performance, minimise injury and balance your body. With a proper strength-training program, the muscle breakdown from running can be assisted and strength can be maintained. A running program will need to be followed in addition to the sessions.
We will work with you to progressively increase strength, confidence and efficiency. Book in for a free assessment now!
