My strength game is none existent! Felt it yesterday. Can anyone recommend a weight free plan for marathon training #ukrunchat

@mileswithshell @Studio44Pilates I haven’t tbh, but certainly have now. Thanks, looks more interesting than squatting

@EllieJane1980 @UKRunChat I did for the London landmark half. Felt terrible but managed it. Neck above and it should be good.

@SimonCJay @UKRunChat Your HM goal will be a different pace to the 5k and 10k. Also a different approach to training (endurance). I’d aim for a decent running plan for a sub 2 hour HM and then work on varying speed work for your 5k and 10k.
