If you’ve just found out you’ve got a place in the London Marathon… firstly, congratulations! 🎉
Most people think marathon training starts 16 weeks before race day, but the reality is, the best marathon training starts now.
These next few months are your chance to build a strong aerobic base, gradually increase your mileage, improve your running economy, and make your body more resilient. It means when your marathon block begins, you’re fit enough to handle the training instead of just surviving it.
Too many runners wait until January, ramp their mileage up too quickly, and end up injured, exhausted, or struggling to hit their goal.
Start building your foundations now, and you’ll give yourself the best chance of running your strongest marathon next spring.
