ACHIEVEMENTS

Programme Breakdown

Phase 1: Preparation | Aerobic Base | Coaching

This initial phase focuses on building the foundation for marathon success.

We:

  • Develop your aerobic base through consistent running at the appropriate frequency
  • Personalise training to your current fitness level
  • Balance training load with life stress (work, family, recovery)
  • Ensure you can recover properly between sessions

Consistency is the goal here, creating a solid base needed for harder, more specific training later in the marathon block.

Phase 2: Build & Peak | Specificity | Adjust

This is where training becomes marathon-specific.

  • Introduction of marathon pace sessions (if appropriate)
  • Long runs progressively extended (18-22 miles for most)

Training tailored depending on your goal:

  1. Completion-focused runners
  2. Time-based performance runners

We continuously adjust your training programme to:

  • Avoid overtraining and burnout
  • Manage fatigue
  • Ensure steady progress

Phase 3: Taper | Recovery | Mindset

In the final weeks before race day:

  • Training volume is reduced to allow further recovery and adaptations
  • Intensity is carefully managed
  • Focus shifts to freshness, confidence, and readiness

Key priorities:

  • Sleep and recovery
  • Managing external stress
  • Maintaining discipline while reducing load

The goal is to arrive at race day feeling fresh, prepared, and ready to execute.
