I think a big part of it is making sure that you trust the training. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. I won't use any other training plan in the future. I’ve had the book for 4 years now, but always been too afraid to try it, unsure if 16 miles is enough. Long Answer: The Hansons Marathon Method is a great plan that is backed by sound research and scientific principles that has been tested and proven in many runners over the course of many years. What this means is that through a slow build up of repetitive, consistent training-6 days a week-without full recovery between training days to prepare your body for the variety of physiological stresses that running 26.2 miles will cause. Mental toughness is just as important as your ability to run the pace! I never know how I would be able to complete 10 miles at marathon pace, but it happens! I think that is part of the taper – you need to let you body rest to a point to get you ready for race day. Your mental game will need to be on point, and be ready to step it up! Really enjoyed your blog posts and they’ve convinced me I can use this plan. I never went over 16 miles during my training, and I had no problem completing the 26.2. You could definitely use it as part of your long run just add the extra 3 miles in the warm up and cool down but be careful not to over do it. Then I took a couple of years off of marathoning after running Boston and decided I would give this book another shot this past summer. Since I had just come off about 8-10 weeks of 10k speed training I felt like I would be okay with starting out on the advanced plan. I dropped almost 1/2 hour off my marathon time and qualified for Boston on my first try thanks to it! You had a good review of the plan! Thanks for sharing this. Thanks for the encouraging post!! I love your bit about the easy days. I hope you stay awhile! Hi there! Congratulations again on Kiawah and your BQ! Did you like it/feel like it worked for you? Easy runs are meant to be paced 1-2 minutes slower than goal marathon pace, meaning that controlling your pace is key in order for these days to be as effective as they are intended to be. It really made me SO strong! Plain and simple. I will let you know what I think of it after I get through it! It’s so awesome that you were able to stick to the plan and build your mileage up to 60+ miles a week without getting injured too. Once your body has made muscular and physiological adaptations through speed work, strength workout sessions begin that help you to make more marathon-specific adaptations. I’ve been really curious about it, I’m running the Charleston Half Marathon and a few other half marathons. I wanted to wait until after the 2016 CIM ( California International Marathon ) to write my review because it was the first marathon I used the Hansons training plan for. You seriously hit everything square on the nose… I have literally said to my husband, “how am I supposed to run a whole marathon at this pace when I can barely hold it for a tempo/workout? I expected to finish in the 5:15 range and was pleasantly surprised to finish in 4:55.If you are thinking of running a marathon, buy this book! For example, I can’t do the same plan and workouts as my husband without getting injured. This is so great! I had seen several runner’s that I “know” and respect as runner’s using it and it peaked my interest to say the least. I could not imagine hitting the paces that it was asking me to. Just be ready to work, see you at the finish line… you won’t regret it! Tempo runs should be run at half marathon goal pace. All running books should be like this: clear, organized, and with simple to follow plans. After you have completed the speed workout phase, they go into strength workouts. I honestly am not sure. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me! This was a great book to read. While I have been using Hansons to a point this time, I am both mentally and physically exhausted. I sat down and planned out each week making sure I knew every run, every workout and every pace that I would need to hit throughout the training. The "cumulative fatigue" theory got me through. I decided to sign up for another half marathon that was six months later and I wanted to be sure to select a training plan that would help me reach my goal. Do you feel like this at the start? Many of these workouts and tempo runs, and some days even your easy runs will allow you to work on mentally being able to dig deep when it gets tough. I was worried about injury and long training runs. It was the strongest marathon I had EVER run plus the fastest! I have used this book on two separate marathon training experiences. Depending on the severity of your problem it may be better to give up on your chosen race, and restart your training cycle, targeting a later date. I focused my entire week around this run and all the others were just fillers. I ran my first marathon this year in 3:58 so I would need to PR by nearly 30 minutes to qualify for Boston. You can read my full review of Hansons Marathon Method here. About three and a half weeks ago, I raced the big 26.2 for the very first time. I always have a really hard time doing this, but you’ve put in the work and now you need to enjoy it. Two days later, I have very little soreness. I highly recommend this plan!! For example, my easy days I’m at around 160 HR (max is 196), but my tempo days are around 170!! Does the training plan mention adaptability to master runners (40 years old +)? The tempo run was often the most dreaded run in my training, but hands down is probably one of the biggest confidence builders. I think the tempo run trumps the workouts a BIT, but you need the workouts to get faster. I remember in college EVERY FREAKING RUN was fast. WOULD I RECOMMEND THE HANSONS MARATHON METHOD??? Thursday Tempo runs are LEGIT. Since I had just come off about 8-10 weeks of 10k speed training I felt like I would be okay with starting out on the advanced plan. But maybe one day!! Before I get into my actual review, I will mention that I did not jump straight into the Hanson’s plan. As much as it may sometimes pain me to say it, tempo runs are 100% necessary to become a good distance runner.
