Training for a marathon means pain, sweat, and many why the f*ck am I doing this? moments.
There’s the months of training…
Nights where you’d rather do anything else than go out in the rain and question your life choices in the middle of a sprint...
...But the marathon is one of the rare things in life forcing you to push over the limits of what is humanly possible...
And the only way to answer a profound question:
Can i do it? Can I go on, when everything in me says STOP?
This protocol won't make that pain disappear, but make sure that you're ready for it.
And it's built from the same training science used by elite marathoners: 80/20 training (Seiler), taper physiology (Mujika & Padilla), the central governor model of fatigue (Noakes).
