Born to Run 7 | How Do You Train for a Marathon? Experts vs Evidence

This lecture compares "expert" consensus versus empirical evidence when answering the question "What is the Best Way to Train for a Marathon?"

First, the programs of expert coaches like Jack Daniels, Galloway, Hal Higdon, Lydiard, Pfitzinger and Waitz are summarised. Core training principles (including the principles of overload, recovery and Selye's General Adaptation Theory) are discussed. Finally, the empirical research investigating marathon training programs is outlined.
