1 week of marathon prep - NASM CPT

2025/4/1 Edited to

... Read morePreparing for a marathon requires dedication and a structured training plan. In this article, I've shared a glimpse of my week as a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, focusing on different workouts to enhance performance and endurance. Day 1 begins with a long run of 8 miles, crucial for building stamina. Transitioning into Day 2, active rest includes Pilates, promoting flexibility and core strength. Day 3 emphasizes speed work with 30-45 minutes of running combined with Pilates for recovery. As the week unfolds, Day 4 and Day 5 maintain the momentum with more runs and Pilates sessions. A key element to consider in marathon training is balancing running with cross-training, such as Pilates, which can help prevent injuries. On Day 6, we continue running, and Day 7 concludes with another active recovery day. Each week, gradually increasing mileage and intensity helps prepare both body and mind for race day. Remember, consulting a physician before starting any new exercise program is essential for safety.
