McMillan's Top 5 Marathon Training Tips
By Greg McMillan, M.S.
Tip #1: Build speed first stamina second
I learned long ago that most marathoners improve their times if they get fast first then get strong second. In other words, spend some time (like these next few weeks) before your marathon-specific training begins to work on your speed - training that help you run fast at 5K and 10K. Then, you'll be able to carry this new speed into an even better quality marathon training segment.
Recommended Resource: Time to Rethink Your Marathon Training Plan
Tip #2: Sprinkle in speed work throughout your marathon plan
The marathon requires endurance and stamina primarily but just as in Tip #1 above, I learned that sprinkling in some speed training across your entire marathon training plan can be of great benefit. This speed or VO2max training as it is often called helps improve running economy - a very desirable trait for the marathoner - and helps you avoid a shortened stride that can come from so much endurance running.
Recommended Resource: Speedwork for Marathoners
Tip #3) Use workouts and races as predictors
It's normal to have a goal and then worry if you are fit enough to reach it. A smart goal setter uses the results of the lead up training and racing to provide feedback on the goal. Certain workouts and races provide a fun way to chart your progress toward your goal. Over time, they've proven themselves to help dial in goal pace on race day.
Recommended Resource: 3 Great Marathon Predictor Workouts
Tip #4) Carb up, carb down, carb up
For new marathoners, fueling to finish strong in the first few long runs helps build the fitness needed for the more challenging training to come. But, once you've proven that you can run for over two hours with minimal mental or physical fade, it's time to challenge the body to spare its carbohydrate stores by reducing or eliminating carbohydrate intake before and during every second or third long run, using the other weeks as a time to dial in race day nutrition. It takes some getting used to but challenging your body to run long without fueling stimulates it to burn more fat and less of your limited carbohydrate stores - both very beneficial adaptations for the marathoner. On race day, of course, you'll fuel optimally to maximize performance.
Recommended Resource: Marathon Long Run
Tip #5) Prove it and you'll lose it
In Tip #3, workouts and races are used as predictors for marathon day. Some runners, however, are so worried about their goal that they feel the need to "prove" that they are ready by doing incredibly hard and challenging runs in the last month before the race. Big mistake. Chasing confidence through workouts usually results in overtraining and an eventual reduction in performance - the exact opposite of what you were seeking. So, trust your training and trust me. On race day, all your training will come through. You don't need to prove it in training.
