Marathon Training Guide
So, you've decided to take on what is widely regarded to be the hardest footrace on earth.26.2 miles / 42 Km is a long way in anyone's book and running it is one hell of a challenge.
The marathon is the ultimate test of physical and mental endurance and completing it will earn you respect and admiration for the rest of your life.
It is an experience you will never forget and no matter how tough the going gets - you will never regret taking on the challenge of the marathon.
To help you get through your training, fitFAQS have produced a free training guide below to help you prepare your body for its toughest test yet.
The Marathon Guide
A much condensed (and certainly no substitute) version of my book, The Marathon and Half Marathon: A Training Guide, the fitFAQs training guide and training timetables cover the basics of marathon training and should give you a great start.
The guide is available for you to download and print off at your leisure to help with you training for months to come, whether you are training for you first marathon or your fifth.
All that said, if the allure of a complementary 45 page training guide still isn't tempting you to sign up to download it, then maybe this help sway you......
fitFAQs have teamed up with three leading running companies to help keep you guys on track with your training by offering all subscribers the chance to win some top of the range running gear.
- Brooks, one of the UK's (if not the worlds) leading manufacturers of Running shoes have kindly offered all fitFAQs subscribers the chance to win a pair of their award winning running shoes every quarter.
