Marathon Training Using the Slow Method

Intended Audience: • People over 18 years old who are interesting in running their best time in the marathon. • People who have experienced injury while training using more intense training methods. • People who are willing to commit the time and patience needs to complete a full marathon training program •Runners looking to improve their times but have met a plateau in performance

Title: Training Slow Race Fast Course Description: This course will be a stand-alone fully online course open to the public. I will take about one hour to complete. The course will summarize and training methodology that was invited by a running coach in Malta named John Walsh who rose to popularity in an obscure running forum in the mid 2000s. His single post was turned into a running bible for many young runners and continues to have great popularity in underground circles in the running community. This method is different than most training programs because it’s total lack of V02 Max and lactate threshold runs until that runner has completed a long training cycle of only slow long running. This online training will focus on those training methods and will help runners get the most of their training and hopefully avoid injury caused by the tendency for new runners to do too much too soon.
