We analyse stress & sleep to ensure you're doing the right training at the right time.
We recommend two strength and conditioning sessions be included in each week, focusing on runners strength.
MP (Marathon Pace) is your estimated pace for the marathon; for example, if you aim to run the Marathon in 4 hours, your MP is 5:41/km. Similarly, 1/2MP is your estimated pace for a half marathon pace.
You should be able to comfortably run 15km, and running at least three times a week before you start using this training guideline.
