Is 35 Miles a Week Enough for Marathon Training to Get Results

🔔 RUNDREAMACHIEVE COFFEE👇
Is 35 miles a week enough for marathon training? It is for some runners but others will need to do more. Remember, too much mileage run too slow will only make you an outstanding long, slow runner.

I hope that the marathon strategy tactic and strategies I discuss in this video will help you. I share some of the fundamentals that helped me run 2:19:35 for the marathon event.

Dear Coach Nathan. You wrote in your books and mentioned in your videos that you really like 1 min on-1 min off intervals. Could you please consider a dedicated video on this technique. How many reps, how to pace these (lactate threshold vs anaerobic), over weeks should we increase paces or increase rep numbers, hills or flat, etc. Thank you for all the wisdom you share with us. 🏃‍♂️

Yes, my buddy ran sub 3:30 running about 25-30 miles a week. He was just very specific on the types of runs he did not just running to fulfill a mileage goal. He asked himself what are the most crucial runs for the marathon: long run and lactate threshold runs. So he structured his training to have two quality sessions a week spaced about 4-5 days apart and he would just run easy 20-45 minutes in between to recover or not run at all but he made sure he had at least 1 quality session a week which was the long run. The 20-45 min. jog have no direct influence on performance so he just did them to facilitate blood flow to help the body recover faster. Very low intensity. So low that he would play a game: what is the least amount of mileage he can cover in a given period of time. 😂 His schedule would look something like this:
Mon: 3-4 x 1 mile @ 5k pace/ 2 minute jog recovery
Tues: Rest or 20-45 min. jog
Wed: Rest or 20-45 min. jog
Thurs: Rest or 20-45 min. jog
Fri: Rest
Sat: Long run workout
4-5x 5k @ half marathon pace/ 5 min. jog recovery
Sun: Rest

He told me you want to be running faster than goal marathon pace to move your fitness foward and extending the speed over the distance. I followed this style of training. I have been hitting PRs after PRs even if it is just a few seconds over the previous run. The key is to consistently get faster over time.

Would love a video on over training and how to avoid burn out yet still get in miles.

I'm doing 3 months training 100-110-90 km trying to cut some minutes from 2:59. As a "new" amateur runner can't wait to build some resistence and load the volume a bit more!

IMO, there’s not a chance a person can be properly prepared for a marathon with 35 miles per week. Sure….a 35 miles per week person can complete a marathon, but it’s a miserable experience if you have any type of time goal. The vast majority of people who have run a marathon….the vast vast majority….they will tell you about the awful feeling of bonking at mile 20-22 because there’s no more glycogen left and the body is not fat adapted. How can someone get fat adapted with 35 miles per week? Maybe if every run is a fasted run….but very few people run fasted.
With 15% of mileage at threshold, it’s just not enough miles dedicated to any one pace to get adapted for the final 10k of the marathon. There absolutely needs to be several runs in the training block that are 2.5 to 3 hours long one time per week, otherwise, the grim reaper will be waiting in that last 10k, and his weapon never gets dull.
