Fall Marathon Training is Here. Avoid This Common Mistake Now

If you’re a marathoner training for a fall race and you’re running goal marathon paced workouts in July, you’re doing it wrong.

Let’s explore a better way.

In today’s episode, we’re going to talk about race-specific workouts from the 5k to the marathon.  We’ll go over:

• Why the timing of race-specific workouts matters

• Why and how to plan workouts that focus on overall fitness instead, and

• When to narrow your focus so you peak exactly on race day

I’ll also give you some examples of my favorite race-specific workouts for each distance.

This is a topic that will probably bust a lot of common myths out there. Whether you are brand-new to racing or you’re a veteran runner looking for ways to sharpen up your fitness at exactly the right time, this is the episode for you and your running buddies.  So share it with them..
