Plan Description

This is a marathon plan for those athletes wanting to PB. Runners with a consistent, solid training history looking to target an event and give it more than a good go. A hard, smart build with a 100% races to PB's ratio under its belt.

Ideally you'll have completed a half marathon or two before, and the plan is best suited to those aiming to run between sub 3 and sub 3.5 hours. With PB's of 3:18, 3:11 and 2:58 to name a few with targets of 3:30, 3:30 and 3:15 respectively.

The plan is primarily focussed around running however does incorporate some yoga recommendations and cross-training. In the plan cross training sessions are labelled as spin sessions, however they may be swapped out for easy walks, treadmill incline walks, cross trainer or eliptical machines, outdoor cycles or swims. The premise being aerobic development with a slightly different stimulus to keep the body developing with less impact and different stimuli.

Keep the fun and adventure in training...

I've coached everything from Guinness World Records (70 half ironmen in 70 days), to international age-group podiums, and athletes running their first 5km.

As an elite athlete, medical student and researcher I spend my time mulling over performance improvements, exercise physiology and how we can use sport to improve health and wellbeing. I value people who dream big and overcome adversity, love adventure and being sustainable long-term.
