This page is dedicated to the Galway City Harriers (GCH) marathon training group. I will share the training plans on a weekly basis along with information about the sessions.
Here are good articles too:
Running is an easy sport, but the latest studies confirm that introducing Strength and Conditioning is important to improve the performance and avoid injuries. (another article with the S&C basics).
The training sessions should all start with a quick Warm-up, all speed sessions need to start with Drills that are warming up each muscle group and will improve your running form. Part of your running cool-down should integrate Foam Rolling.
In order to see what race we have in our calendar, this article will share Where GCH run.
