You want to work smart not just hard, you’re wanting to explore how to maximise your potential in a proven and data driven way, without having to be a data geek and get a taste of how top-level athletes prepare and train. Avoidance of overtraining or injury prevention is key to you. For less than a $1 a day you get a proven progressive programme based on your chosen way of measuring effort that’s clear, easy to follow and starts with testing and manageable sessions that grow more challenging as you improve. You should have considerable marathon or competitive half marathon experience and be well used to training for such an event and are probably currently running 25-35 miles 40K-60K per week, over 5-6 sessions. Thirdly, you should comfortably be able to run at least 10 miles and are interested in a PB or good for age result
