Nutrition

One of the parts often overlooked by first time marathon runners is the importance of proper nutrition. Yes, as much as stuffing yourself with pizza seems like a great strategy it might not be the best way to optimize your training. Whether it's an interval training day, a rest day, a slow run day, or a long run day, you want to ensure your body is fueled with the right resources that will support this effort. With the help of professionals we have come up with nutritional plans that will fit in perfectly with your training plan. This way you can focus on your training while we make sure you are getting a head start!

Marathon Training Beginner Blog

Keep an eye on our blog posts in which we will highlight the training experiences of fellow first time marathon finishers. They will share their stories, highlighting their training hiccups as well as achievements. You'll also be able to find valuable information covering subjects related to injury prevention, stretching exercises, mental preparation and much more.

The aim of this website is to help other first time marathon runners feel ready for this great journey by providing useful information related to training, nutrition, and mental preparation. My own training was filled with questions, worries, and self-doubt. As the weeks progressed you might, just like me, struggle to find the motivation to train for your first marathon. What kept me focussed was deep diving into the changes that needed to be made to reach my goal of finishing my first marathon. The free training and nutritional plans offered here are the result of colaborations with professionals with years of experience in marathon training. I'm hoping that by providing you with these plans, you will be able to feel more prepared, self-assured, and motivated to go out and ace your first marathon!
