Welcome to Day 17 of my Edinburgh Marathon MAF training series! In today’s episode, I’m diving into the structure of my training week and how I’m steadily increasing my endurance. I’ll share my strategy of incorporating 1 or 2 long runs on weekends and adding consistent weekday runs to my routine.

Here’s a breakdown of my weekly schedule:

• Weekend: 1 or 2 long runs, perfect for building stamina and endurance.
• Weekdays: 3 runs, each carefully planned and executed.

The key to my training is gradual progression. Starting from Week 1 with 1-hour runs, I’m adding 5 minutes to each run every week. Now in Week 3, I’m at 1 hour 10 minutes. My goal? To reach 1 hour 30 minutes for my weekday runs, setting a solid foundation for the marathon ahead.

Join me as I share insights, challenges, and tips on managing this increasing demand on my body while maintaining the MAF (Maximum Aerobic Function) approach. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just starting, this journey is packed with valuable lessons for everyone.

🏃‍♂️ Keep Running, Stay Consistent, and Let’s Train Smart Together! 🏃‍♀️
