The Planted Runner

If you are always training for a marathon, you might actually get worse at it.

How is this possible?  And what should you do instead to actually get better at the marathon?

Today we’re going to go into the best way to maximize your fitness in between marathon training cycles.  We’ll go over:

• Why taking too much time off isn’t a great idea

• How to shift your training to build well-rounded fitness, and

• How to spot the things you should focus on because they are not the same for all runners.

If you are the type of runner who really wants to get better and better at the marathon and is willing to take a long-term view, listen up.
