In this weeks episode of the Running Hub Podcast we explore the Do's and Don't of Marathon Training. We recorded this episode a while ago and it was so popular we thought we would record an updated version especially after our positive experiences at Chicago.  James and I have ran almost 20 marathons between us and coached hundreds of others so know what things to do and what mistakes you should avoid.  We hope this gives you an insight and sets you up well ahead of your next marathon training block.  Join The Running Hub Community Apply for 121 Coaching   Social Media LinksFollow us on instagram - @therunninghubcommunity @run_with_coachkatie @coach_james_trh Follow us on Facebook   Follow us on YouTube  Running Training Plans and Online [email protected] [email protected]   Shop our website www.therunninghub.co.uk Join us for The Running Hub Retreat - 1 Place Left!
