Healthy Runner Podcast 259. Why Marathon Training STARTS NOW with Coach Carolyn Coffin
[Download] The Ultimate Marathon Training Guide
How early should you start training for a marathon?...How about now!?
I had the opportunity to talk with the amazing Carolyn Coffin on the Inspired Soles Podcast on what we can do as runners when we are not officially "marathon training".
Carolyn Coffin is not only a friend of the show (episodes 108, 160, 200, 213) but she has a 3:21 marathon PB and recently ran a 3:24 in Chicago this past fall 9 years later!
In this episode, we discuss the importance of year-round training for marathon success and why Marathon Training technically starts way before your 16 or 20 week training cycle.
So if you are feeling a bit in a rut after the holidays and during the colder winter months but you still have big marathon goals in 2025 (like I do) then this is the episode for you!
We dive deep into mindset, strength training, and following a properly structured run plan so that you’re not starting back at square one when you decide to officially begin your next training cycle.
