Marathon Training

Are you looking forward to running in the big race?  Marathon day is fast approaching now so what are you to do?  How are you training?  It is time to turn your training style around.  You see, most runners train by getting their endurance built up first and being able to run further.  Then work on their speed as race day approaches.  The problem with that is many top runners in the world are approaching it very differently than the average runner.  For instance, many of the top runners in the world are training for speed first.  figuring out what pace they need to maintain to put up a good time.  Once they find the pace that will put them in position to win they begin to work on distances.  The trick is they must maintain that efficiency.  Think about it this way.  If my goal is to make it 6 minutes per mile, then I need to be able to at least do that for ten miles before trying to do it for twenty six miles.
Think about it in this game efficiency is the key.  After that is established you can add the endurance.

Good running to you.
