Description
Have you hit a plateau in your running? Are you wondering how to get a marathon PR? Well, you're in luck. Today we're going to chat with the one and only Jason Fitzgerald of StrengthRunning.com. He's going to walk us through exactly how he helps runners overcome their limitations and get a PR in the marathon.
Jason Fitzgerald is the founder of Strength Running. His website, podcast and blog reach hundreds of thousands of runners every month and have been featured in Runner’s World, The Washington Post, Health Magazine, USA Today, and The Huffington Post among others. His contributions to the running community were recognized in 2017 when he was named Men’s Running Magazine Influencer of the Year.
He is a USA Track & Field certified coach and has been running competitively since 1998, when he ran for Connecticut College. After a major IT Band injury in 2008 following the New York City Marathon, Jason embarked on a mission to help other runners avoid injuries while still improving their performance. Since then Jason has helped thousands of runners do just that and even found the time to improve his own marathon PR, finishing the Philidelphia Marathon in 2:39.
He recently adapted the training journal he has kept religiously over the last 25 years. The Performance Training Journal includes coaching advice on racing, injury prevention, strength training, and more. It will guide you through race scheduling, how to plan your race morning, the best workouts for endurance runners, and encourage you to track your personal bests over time.
