I guide master marathon runners who have got into a marathon training rut arrive on race day ready and confident using the 3Ds Marathon Maximiser Framework

@PropaneFitness I agree. The art is being able to see said docter 😂

Embrace the simplicity of running.
Technology can be great, but the best feedback comes from within.
If you can chat while running, you’re on the right track.
Tune into your body and breathe.

[Evergreen Endurance Runner @SilverbackRunn1]

Curiosity is key in running.
It's not about right or wrong, but about feeling.
Modern tech can separate us from this.
But your breathing is your best guide.
Listen to it and adjust your pace accordingly.

[Evergreen Endurance Runner @SilverbackRunn1]

Running is about feeling, not just data.
Use technology, but don't let it control you.
Your breath and the ability to talk while running are the simplest, quickest feedback mechanisms you have.

[Evergreen Endurance Runner @SilverbackRunn1]

In marathon training, start with 'Accept': recognize exactly where you are in your running journey.
It's not about defeat, but honesty about your starting point.

[Evergreen Endurance Runner @SilverbackRunn1]

Without consistent action, the best-laid plans for marathon training are just overthought ideas.
It’s a sport of doing, of moving forward.

[Evergreen Endurance Runner @SilverbackRunn1]

Being adaptable in your training is like unlocking a superpower that propels you toward consistent progress and success.

[Evergreen Endurance Runner @SilverbackRunn1]

Remember the four A's in marathon training:
Accept, Assess, Adapt, and Action.
Each step is a building block to your success.

[Evergreen Endurance Runner @SilverbackRunn1]

As a coach, much of my focus is on the mental game—shaping a training and race day mindset that supports long-term success in marathon running.

[Evergreen Endurance Runner @SilverbackRunn1]

A flexible training plan that responds to your progress and conditions is more effective than a rigid schedule."

[Evergreen Endurance Runner @SilverbackRunn1]

Your training plan isn't set in stone. It's a dynamic map that evolves based on your needs and the challenges you face.

[Evergreen Endurance Runner @SilverbackRunn1]

A training plan is important, but it's just a map that should evolve with you and your terrain. It's how you navigate this map that truly unlocks the magic of your training success.

[Evergreen Endurance Runner @SilverbackRunn1]

Always remember the importance of running to effort (RPE) over just sticking to pace and heart rate.
Feeling the run and checking in with how conversational it is can be more telling than numbers alone.

[Evergreen Endurance Runner @SilverbackRunn1]

Think of your training as a bank account:
Make enough deposits with smart, strategic running before making withdrawals.
Overdrawing leads to stagnation or injury.
But the right balance leads to growth.

[Evergreen Endurance Runner @SilverbackRunn1]

Feeling lost in your marathon training?
Running has no specific point except the one you give it.
Reconnect with your why, and your running mojo will come back.

I've just been making a welcome video to a new run run I'm onboarding.
It's a great reminder your running plan only works if you work.
You have to make sure you run at the right intensities in your plan or your plan will hinder you more than it helps you.

[Evergreen Endurance Runner @SilverbackRunn1]

I feel my role as a running coach is to deliver little micro nudges on a daily basis to my runners to keep them on track.

[Evergreen Endurance Runner @SilverbackRunn1]

When running injuries hit, the decisions you make will often define the injury itself.
Too often runners ignore that little niggle that ultimately becomes a nag and can end up sadly becoming a nightmare for a runner.

My son is running his first marathon in October.
I told him he will learn a lot about himself over those 26.2 miles.

[Evergreen Endurance Runner @SilverbackRunn1]

I don't know how many times post-marathon race I have said never again,
what I do know is my wife laughs every time I say it.
