4-Hour Marathon

Are you looking to run a

☆ Sub 4-Hr Marathon? ☆

The first way is to train a lot, then come race day go out and do your best.
Results may vary if you train the first way – anywhere between ‘crash-and-burn‘ to ‘limp over the finish line and swear to never run again‘.
(perhaps I’ve being a bit over-the top, but you get my point – it’s painful).
The second way to run a sub 4-hr marathon is to train smart.

✰     ✰     ✰

What does training smart mean? It means every single workout has a purpose which leads towards your goal of a sub 4-hr marathon. No junk miles. No directionless long runs. No random training. Everything has a structure, a purpose, and a plan. ✰     ✰     ✰ When it comes to a sub 4-hr marathon, the great news is that your goal is already identified. This means that we can work backwards from this objective, and construct a training plan that will get you to that objective in the most efficient and strategic way possible. I’ll teach you the principles behind: – Marathon Pacing Strategies – Training For Race Pace – How To Do Long Runs Correctly – Train To Avoid The Wall (Bonking) – And every aspect of training and race preparation.

Stephen Wiseman bagged a 3hr 48min marathon at Loch Ness, Scotland! (quite a hilly route!)

Rebecca Gilmore killed the Melbourne Marathon in 3hrs 43 mins!

“When starting out I thought completing the marathon in under 4 hours would be impossible! As the weeks went on and I followed Thomas’s plan, I realised that maybe 4 hours wasn’t such an unreachable goal after all. The plan was do-able and I felt myself getting stronger and fitter every week.  After following the 4-Hr Marathon book, I managed to finish my first marathon in 3 hrs 43 minutes. I loved the training plan and the supportive tips! Thanks Thomas – looking forward to smashing some more goals with your help ? “ – Rebecca Gilmore Melbourne Marathon finisher (3hrs 43min)

☆ Who Am I ? ☆

Hi!
My name’s Thomas Watson, I’m a UESCA-certified running coach . . . and basically I’ve run a lot.
I’ve run dozens marathons and ultra-marathons, and now spend my time helping others to achieve their running goals through Marathon Handbook.
But a few years ago, I was where you probably are now –  sitting online researching how to run my first marathon.
In the end, I ran 26.2 miles and crossed the finish line in 3hrs 58mins – I just squeezed in under 4 hours.  

My first sub 4-hr marathon (it was agony)

But I made a lot of mistakes.
I had gone out too fast.
My training didn’t prepare me properly, so I hit the wall.
I got my nutrition completely wrong, and I screwed up with my gear choices.
(the photo above isn’t too clear, but those are board shorts – which started chafing after about 6 miles . . . ).
*
I went back to the drawing board, and started to research the right way to train and prepare for a marathon.
I became a certified coach, and went on to run marathon after marathon – each time refining my knowledge and strategies.
And now, having worked with hundreds of other runners, these are what I want to pass on to you, in this new book – the 4-Hour Marathon.

Here’s another success story – Natasha Floyer finished the Sydney Marathon in 3hrs and 47 mins!

“On signing up to my first marathon I was extremely fortunate to come across Thomas’ 4-hour Marathon!   It was packed full of useful tips which prevented me from making any rookie errors along the way.     Using the strategy in the book , I ended up finishing the marathon in 3:47!    I would certainly recommend Marathon Handbook to anyone!”   – Natasha Floyer Sydney Marathon Finisher (3hr 47min)
