How To Train For Your Half Or Full Marathon By Running 3x A Week In this video, I discuss my approach to marathon training, focusing on running three times a week and incorporating strength training. By starting with short...

I was looking at some old pictures and I found the first day I started training for the Portland Marathon.⁣
⁣
I remember thinking that running a marathon was going to be easy lol⁣
⁣
It’s crazy to look back now and think about the journey I’ve been on over the last few years.⁣
⁣
(Running multiple marathons and helping hundreds of others do the same)⁣
⁣
What’s funny, is this all started as a joke…⁣
⁣
I read Can’t Hurt Me by David Goggins and in his book he talked about how he ran a hundred miles for a fallen soldier.⁣
⁣
And after I read that, I said “If he can run a 100 miles, I can run a marathon lol”⁣
⁣
And that joke turned into a thought, and that thought turned into a belief, and that belief turned into an action.⁣
⁣
I had no running experience and I didn’t even like to run haha⁣
⁣
All I had was a background in sports and a delusional, ‘How hard could it be?’ attitude.⁣
⁣
On my first day of training, I couldn’t run a mile.⁣
⁣
And for the first few weeks every ended with a side cramp or an injury lol⁣
⁣
I remember being about 2 months into my “training” and the farthest I had run was 3 miles lol.⁣
⁣
And a friend of mine came up to me all excited and said “I just ran 5 miles. It was my first run since high school.”⁣
⁣
I thought to myself, “I’m so f**ked” haha⁣
⁣
But since I still had another 7 months to train, I didn’t give up.⁣
⁣
I changed up my training plan.⁣
⁣
I went from running 5x a week to just 3 while having a focus on lifting weights.⁣
⁣
And after that, things started to progress, fast.⁣
⁣
3 miles turned to 5, 5 turned to 9 and then shortly after I ran my first half marathon.⁣
⁣
(funny story on that, but for a different day)⁣
⁣
Everything started to click.⁣
⁣
Fast forward a couple more months and I crossed the finish line of the Portland Marathon in 3 hours and 53 minutes.⁣
⁣
Looking back, I easily could have quit in the beginning.⁣
⁣
One of the reasons I didn’t was because I posted a picture (the one below) on my Instagram to all my friends saying I was going to run the Portland Marathon.⁣
⁣
A blessing and a curse I guess…⁣
⁣
Anyways, if you are training for your first half or full marathon and you aren't making the progress you thought you would be, don’t quit.⁣
⁣
To make it easier for you I put together what I am calling The Marathon Training Starter Kit.⁣
⁣
Inside you’ll discover:⁣
⁣
- 10 expertly crafted half and full marathon training plans ranging from 8 weeks to 6 months so you can use a plan that's tailored to your fitness levels and goals.⁣
⁣
- 3 easy to do strength training workouts with video demonstration so you know exactly what to do even if you have never done it before.⁣
⁣
- How to use the same fueling and hydration strategies I use for all my marathons so you can avoid cramping up at the end of your race. Hint: It starts 24 hours before your race.⁣
⁣
- How to master the key fundamentals of running that most overlook so you don't waste time and energy on your race.⁣
⁣
- Plus so much more like a Couch to 5k plan, a 10k plan, and a Private Facebook Group.⁣
