Purple Patch Podcast Episode 317: How To Cut 30 Min off Your Marathon Time
Welcome to the Purple Patch Podcast. Last week's episode focused on opening the door of opportunity for those who may have never thought it possible to finish a marathon, let alone be successful at one. We discussed strategies to motivate you towards taking on a challenge and strategies to help you thrive.
This week, we focus on those of you who have completed a marathon or even several. In this episode of the Purple Patch Podcast, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon shares actionable steps and strategies to help you improve your performance and take your marathon to the next level.
Matt dissects marathon training and the unique challenges of marathon running to better understand what you face. He discusses common flaws in many marathon training plans to help runners avoid injury and progress. Matt highlights strategies you can leverage for a smarter training approach.
From the benefits of clustered and split runs to practicing good posture with subtle inclines, Matt shares tips that can help enhance your speed and boost your skill set for your next marathon.
Also, be sure to check out our free live webinar, Strategies to Nail Your Marathon & Half Marathon, where Matt offers a more in-depth analysis of these points.
