In Hansons Marathon Method, the coaches of the Hansons-Brooks Distance Project reveal the methods they've used to turn their runners into race winners, national champions, and Olympians. Hansons Marathon Method offers a radical overhaul of marathon training that promises to turn any runner into a true marathoner and help experienced marathoners set new personal bests. Hansons Marathon Method does away with mega-long runs and high-mileage weekends--two outdated traditions that make most runners miserable. Instead, runners using the Hansons method will gradually build up to the moderate-high mileage required for marathon success, spreading those miles more sensibly throughout the week. Running easy days mixed with precisely paced speed, strength, and tempo workouts, runners will steel their bodies and minds to run the hardest miles of the marathon. Both Beginner and Advanced training programs feature the unique Hansons 16-mile long run which, as part of the Hansons program, is ideal for preparing the body for the marathon. Humphrey explains how runners should set their goal race pace and shows how to customize the Hansons method to their own needs, like adding extra racing, running more miles, and handling training interruptions. Detailed nutrition and hydration chapters help runners pinpoint their personal energy and hydration needs so they know precisely how much to eat and drink during workouts, race week, race day, and for recovery. The Hansons approach to pacing and nutrition means marathoners will never hit the wall. Hansons Marathon Method lays out the smartest marathon training program available from one of the most accomplished running groups in the nation. Using this innovative approach, runners will mold real marathon muscles, train their body to never hit the wall, and prepare to run their fastest marathon.

To many people, running is the path to a better lifestyle. Running isn't always a race; it's a way to a better life. Completing your first running event is a challenging, yet massively rewarding experience that you will set you up for ongoing health and fitness success. Although many are scared to take their first steps in running, below are some handy hints and tips for anyone looking to take the plunge and become a runner. First Things first: Shoes. Shoes are essential to ensuring you are in the least amount of pain possible when running. Search far and wide for a nice comfortable pair of shoes that fit you to a tee. There is nothing worse than running is a bad pair of shoes! This will be one of your best investments when it comes to regular running. It is important to get properly fitted, this is vital for injury prevention and improved performance Map out a course before you run. Don't give yourself the chance to use the excuse of I don't have anywhere to run or I can't do it. Set a track that is within your level of ability and gradually increase the distance as you improve on your times and pace. F.I.T: find a regular FREQUENCY to run, a comfortable but testing INTENSITY and a reasonable time for when you run. 30 - 60 minutes is he ideal duration for a beginner to start with. Find a pace: Most people who have not run much before struggle to find a consistent pace they can sustain for a long period of time. They often go to hard with the end result being fatigue and them being forced to stop due to exhaustion. It is recommended to start slower and build up as opposed to starting fast and forcing yourself to stop. Follow a program: Following a measureable program, such as the ones designed on VVT will ensure healthy progression and accountability to improvement. Following a program will also reduce the risk of injury as rest will always be taken into consideration Join a running group: Joining a team of likeminded people all looking to improve their running ability will always be a positive experience. Not only will it push you out of your comfort zone, but it will give you some accountability to running and will be more enjoyable running with others. Why not join into the studio Run Club group exercise session? Warm up & Warm Down: A little 5 minute stretch is not a good enough warm up when taking on a long run. It will not raise the heart rate or break enough of a sweat to have you properly equipped for the run you are about to take on. My recommendation is to walk briskly on the treadmill for 5 mins and run through some dynamic stretches. THIS BOOK CONTAINS: 1.INTRODUCTION 2.How Running Changes Your Body 3.How to Add Running to Your Training Plan and Get Results 4.Guidelines 5.The Beginner Running Plan 6.25 reasons running is better than the gym 7.Eight Types of Running Workouts 8.12 health benefits of running 9.30 Convincing Reasons to Start Running Now AND MUCH MUCH MORE..........

Finally, runners at all levels can improve their race times while training less, with the revolutionary Furman Institute of Running and Scientific Training (FIRST) program. Hailed by the Wall Street Journal and featured twice in six months in cover stories in Runner's World magazine, FIRST's unique training philosophy makes running easier and more accessible, limits overtraining and burnout, and substantially cuts the risk of injury, while producing faster race times. The key feature is the "3 plus 2" program, which each week consists of: -3 quality runs, including track repeats, the tempo run, and the long run, which are designed to work together to improve endurance, lactate-threshold running pace, and leg speed -2 aerobic cross-training workouts, such as swimming, rowing, or pedaling a stationary bike, which are designed to improve endurance while helping to avoid burnout With detailed training plans for 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon, plus tips for goal-setting, rest, recovery, injury rehab and prevention, strength training, and nutrition, this program will change the way runners think about and train for competitive races. Amby Burfoot, Runner's World executive editor and Boston Marathon winner, calls the FIRST training program "the most detailed, well-organized, and scientific training program for runners that I have ever seen."
