Episode Notes
Can Matthew finally break 4 hours in Berlin?
Welcome to the PR Training Lab! Go behind the scenes with me as I create a custom training plan for one lucky runner.
In this episode, we feature Matthew:
🏃🏽♀️40 years old
🏃🏿has a fast mile time, but can’t seem to break 4 hours in the marathon
🏃🏼♀️Struggles with hard workouts
Learn how I create a custom 14-week marathon training plan for the Berlin Marathon.
Follow along with the questions I ask each runner:
- What is your goal?
- How long have you been running regularly?
- Do you have any current or recurring injuries?What are your RECENT (past 6-12 months) race times and distances? If you have not raced recently, but have in the past, please estimate your race fitness. If you have never raced, or not in a very long time, please estimate how fast you could run 1 mile (1.6km) as fast as possible.
- How many miles or kilometers per week do you typically run (do not include race weeks or taper weeks)?
- What is the highest amount of weekly mileage you've ever run and how long ago was that?
- How long is your average/most recent long run?
- What pace would you say is a very easy effort, relaxed pace for an average run? This is a pace so slow that you could talk the entire time almost as easily as walking.
- When do you want to run and rest?
- What are your favorite and least favorite kinds of running workouts?
- Do you strength train and/or cross train?
- What do you struggle with?
