The Importance of Consistency in Marathon Training

Building consistency is crucial for marathon runners, especially those new to the sport. Many beginners tend to start their training at full intensity, which increases the risk of injuries and burnout, both physically and psychologically. A more sustainable approach involves gradually ramping up mileage and intensity over time, allowing the body to adapt and recover effectively. This long-term strategy fosters better performance and helps runners maintain motivation throughout their training journey.
