Marathon Month: Peak Long Run - A Comparison of Top Coaching Philosophies
In Episode 58 of the Running on Carbs Podcast, Coach Val continues her dive into "Marathon Month" by exploring one of the most debated topics in marathon training: how far should your peak long run be?
In this episode we’ll compare four distinct coaching philosophies from renowned marathon experts - Jeff Galloway's ambitious 29-mile approach, Hal Higdon's traditional 20-mile cap, the Hansons' unconventional 16-mile maximum, and Jack Daniels' time-based strategy.
Each method offers unique physiological and psychological benefits for different types of runners. Whether you're training for your first marathon or looking to improve your performance, this episode breaks down the science and reasoning behind these approaches to help you determine which training philosophy best suits your individual needs, goals, and recovery abilities.
