Predicting a successful marathon race day
As race day approaches, marathoners get anxious. They wonder and worry if they can’t hit their goal. Our coaching approach is to give comfort to runners as they approach races.
Outside of the weather conditions and other things out of your control, here are the two critical factors in whether you will run well your marathon or not:
Stable mileage
look at your last 10-12 weeks was your mileage consistent and stable? In other words, did you have large swing in weekly mileage, or was your high week or your low week within 10-25%of each other? A week must be on average of 72km, then you know you had a wide wings in mileage from low high
The thoughts
Every runner knows that long runs are key for marathon success but for Predicting!
Now you don’t have to listen to me and it’s hard to say someone can’t overcome big challenges, l will keep saying that over the big years this valuation will save us as a marathon coach, marathon runners and marathoners myself very well. It allows us to better help every marathoner to set their goals and improve the likelihood of a positive Experience!! ✊🏾
