One of the great joys of distance running is its simplicity.
You just put your kit on and run.
But many runners find a bit of input from a marathon coach can be a great benefit.
The coach might be a running partner, or another runner with more experience of the marathon than you.
Why having a marathon coach helps
Here are 6 things you might want to get out from having a coach:
- Helping you with designing your training program
- Acting as someone to tell about your progress
- Providing an outside view on whether your training program is working well for you
- Spotting if you are over-training and tell you to ease off
- Cheering you up when things go against you
- Making you feel confident that you are on target to achieve your marathon targets.
