As a marathon runner you don't have time to waste using the wrong strength training techniques. Can't someone just tell you what to do already?!
You realize that strength training is the ideal form of cross training as a marathon runner.
But there's so much in your way:
- Strength workouts take extra time and you're already running higher mileage weeks!
- You feel exhausted after your runs and especially long runs. How are you supposed to stack strength training on top of everything?
- Doesn't strength training mean expensive equipment that you might use once or twice and then never use again?
- Also, there are literally zillions of strength workouts out there. How do you know which ones are right for you and your marathon training?
The Strength Training Plan for Marathoners gives you 11-done for you workouts that were designed specifically for marathon & half marathon runners!
With this strength training plan say yes to:
- Strength workouts that can be done absolutely anywhere! At home, on a trail, at the park, in your back yard, by a lake, wherever your running takes you!
- Not having to use any equipment unless your little heart desires it! If you do want to use weight, you only need 1 pair of free weights!
- Staying motivated and inspired! With the 11 included strength workouts, you will have lots of variety so that you don't get burned out with doing the same moves over and over.
- Cross training days that are well-spent in a targeted and focused manner! No more haphazard guessing about what to do when XT shows up on your marathon schedule. Pick one of these workouts that will enhance your marathon potential!
- Seeing results! These workouts are designed using specific endurance strength training techniques that are necessary (but often neglected!) for marathon runners!
Here's what you'll get:
- 11 Simple yet highly effective strength endurance building workouts!
- 8 week strength training plan AND a blank calendar to design your own schedule
- A complete guide to strength training as a marathon runner + the physiology behind why as a marathoner you need to be strength training in a very specific manner!
- Step by step photos of how to perform each move + simple instructions
- Downloadable + printable workouts that can also be accessed across any and all of your devices!
Just think...in 8 short weeks with just 2 fifteen minute workouts each week you will:
- Drastically improve your running efficiency. Strengthening your core, upper and lower body will translate into better running form which = better efficiency, faster times and less fatigue! Running economy IS a race performance predictor!
- Gain a faster kick to the finish line. Having more muscle mass in the legs means that you are able to put more force into the ground. In doing so you are able to make that finish line sprint faster. Who doesn't like an amazing, strong finish?
- Feel different (and probably look different too!) Strength training will change your body. It will change how you feel. It will change how you look, especially if you are not used to strength training!
- Eliminate muscular imbalances between muscles that do opposite jobs (agonist vs. antagonist muscles). It is important for us to target muscles that we don’t workout while running. In this Strength Training Plan for Marathoners, you will be targeting ALL of your major muscle groups during EACH workout! This is so vital for your overall health and fitness. As a runner, we don’t want to just build our running muscles. We need to take care of all of the muscles in our body so that we can run when we want to and for as long as we want to no matter what our age.
- Gain a stronger upper body. This is important for marathoners as it can make all the difference in the later miles of a race. As your legs begin to tire, your upper body can help to compensate for it if it is strong enough. Your back, core and arm muscles can help give you that momentum that you need to keep on going. It will pull you to the finish line while battling off fatigue.
- Experience less fatigue and exhaustion when you are running long distance runs. Having overall strength, in the upper and lower body, will extend a runner's "time until exhaustion", or the point where they can physiologically not go any further. Building not just strength but endurance strength will make you more capable of running longer distances.
- Save time by performing focused, targeted strength workouts that are easily modified to be anywhere from 8 to 30 minutes in length.

What makes this strength training plan the best for marathon or half marathon runners?
The workouts in this Strength Training Plan for Marathoners trains your muscles in a way that builds endurance strength vs. building power strength.
This is an important distinction to make because how you strength train will directly affect your running performance.
Building the wrong types of muscle fibers will be devastating to your marathon running performance.
Yet many strength plans and workouts out there are not for marathon runners because they do not build the right types of muscle fibers that allow us to reach our endurance running potential.
Each of the 10 workouts included inside the Strength Training Plan for Marathoners, uses the endurance strength building protocol that is so beneficial to long distance runners!
