Synopsis

Find the plan that works best for you from the detailed day-by-day training schedules by choosing between eighteen- and twelve-week preparation and selecting weekly distances of fifty-five, fifty-five to seventy, seventy to eighty-five, or eighty-five-plus miles. If you run marathons close together, you'll find six- to twelve-week training plans to maximize your training time and recovery. For older marathoners, there is a full chapter dedicated to their unique training, nutrition, and recovery needs.

Complement your running workouts with strength, core, and flexibility exercises to help keep injury at bay. Learn how current technologies such as GPS and online logs can help you analyze your training and performance and set goals for future races. Draw inspiration and insights from elite marathoners such as Galen Rupp, Eliud Kipchoge, and Molly Huddle. Implement cutting-edge nutrition and hydration strategies and recovery techniques to feel and run your best.

Advanced Marathoning gives ambitious marathoners the information needed to train smarter, remain injury-free, and cross the next finish line stronger and faster than ever.
