MARATHON

Train for the Race. Peak on Race Day.

Volume progression, race-specific conditioning, and a taper that brings you to the start line fresh — not broken from overtraining.

Physical Demands

What Marathon Demands

Marathon training requires sustained aerobic capacity, muscular endurance, and the ability to manage cumulative fatigue across months of high-volume training. The biggest risks are overtraining injury from excessive mileage accumulation, and arriving at race day carrying too much fatigue from a poorly managed final block.

  • Aerobic base and VO2max development
  • Lactate threshold improvement
  • Running economy and biomechanical efficiency
  • Posterior chain and lower limb strength for injury prevention
  • Race-specific taper and glycogen management
