Fdip220: Four Hour Marathon Part 2 - Endurance

Published: Jan. 1, 2010, 5 a.m.

This is my first podcast episode of 2010, and my second episode regarding my intentions for running a sub Four Hour Marathon in the Autumn of this year.\nEndurance training and Aerobic development are critical elements in good marathon training program.\xa0 You have to put in the time without worried about the mileage, and you have to develop a base from which to launch yourself at your goal.\nThis is the year I\u2019m going to break 4 hours in a marathon NOT because I\u2019ll be physically fit to do so, but because I\u2019ll have trained carefully, with patience and dedication: when my friend John Ellis tells me to go out and run for an hour up and down the hills of Oxford: I\u2019ll do it\u2026I may not enjoy it at first but once I\u2019ve got a good and healthy base, once my endurance is up to the point where running 26.2 miles non-stop isn\u2019t such a big deal anymore: I can work on my stamina and then go into a taper period in preparation for the day that I\u2019ll run a marathon in 3 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds; or less.\nShow Links:\n\u201cRun Away\u201d by Natalie Brown
