50th Birthday Marathon: Training Breakdown and Take-Aways

It’s story time! Follow along with Coach Val’s journey toward her 50th birthday marathon! She’s just 10 days into a 140-day plan, and there is already so much to share and learn.

In episode 52, Coach Val breaks down how this training plan differs from other marathon plans as she:

• Incorporates training for a new 5k PR within the scope of a larger marathon plan


• What a current training week looks like


• How to incorporate strength training (and the importance of continuing throughout a plan)


• Mindset, durability, and so much more!
