Description

Can Matthew finally break 4 hours in Berlin? Welcome to the PR Training Lab! Go behind the scenes with me as I create a custom training plan for one lucky runner. In this episode, we feature Matthew: 🏃🏽‍♀️40 years old 🏃🏿has a fast mile time, but can’t seem to break 4 hours in the marathon 🏃🏼‍♀️Struggles with hard workouts Learn how I create a custom 14-week marathon training plan for the Berlin Marathon. Follow along with the questions I ask each runner: What is your goal? How long have you been running regularly? Do you have any current or recurring injuries?What are your RECENT (past 6-12 months) race times and distances? If you have not raced recently, but have in the past, please estimate your race fitness. If you have never raced, or not in a very long time, please estimate how fast you could run 1 mile (1.6km) as fast as possible. How many miles or kilometers per week do you typically run (do not include race weeks or taper weeks)? What is the highest amount of weekly mileage you've ever run and how long ago was that? How long is your average/most recent long run? What pace would you say is a very easy effort, relaxed pace for an average run? This is a pace so slow that you could talk the entire time almost as easily as walking. When do you want to run and rest? What are your favorite and least favorite kinds of running workouts? Do you strength train and/or cross train? What do you struggle with?
