Body
Used this Advanced 1 program to train for the Brighton UK Marathon. Due to COVID-19 we were unable to visit the UK from Australia so completed on my own at home in Newman WA. Had to push the date out four extra weeks to allow for the temperature to drop so did loops of week 15 & 16 increasing the long run to 36km. I have jogged a few times over the years but never run with purpose so being my first Marathon I hoped to break 3:45. Training went so well I adjusted my target pace twice eventually settling for 4:45 min km. Still can’t believe I hit a time of 3:18:58 What originally struck me with Hal’s program was how flexible his approach is almost encouraging you to own it! Hal - I can’t thank you enough, I definitely pushed my luck with the advanced but at least this time it paid off Forever in debt - Paul
