For those who are new to running, the training requirements for a marathon or other running events may seem intimidating or overwhelming. Alternatively, even experienced runners may face challenges with injuries related to race preparation.
No matter where you are in your performance journey, there is an effective way to approach training for an endurance running event without overloading on hours and intensity, and risking your health and performance.
In today’s episode of the Purple Patch Podcast, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon aims to evolve your approach to running training using his innovative method designed to help you improve your speed, prevent injuries, and enhance overall performance in all aspects of your life, regardless of your level or experience.
In his analysis of the typical training methods used by runners, Matt highlights the reasons why they often fail to meet their race goals. He proposes an alternative approach to marathon training that uses a prescriptive combination of strength training, running, and supporting multi-sport workouts to enhance overall fitness, endurance, and durability.
Matt provides examples of this innovative and proven strategy that has helped countless Purple Patch runners and athletes optimize their training and racing.
Adopting and applying the lessons from today may require some courage and a shift in your beliefs regarding how to prepare for running performance. However, if you have ever been afraid of the training process, prone to overuse injuries, or struggled to surpass performance plateaus, today's discussion will undoubtedly be beneficial for you.
