In this Coach's Corner episode, Ruth Atkinson from McKirdy Trained talks about how she plans long runs for runners who run the marathon in 4:30 or slower. This is a question we get all the time via DM's and email and we were excited to talk it out. Often times runners in this group assume that they need to run a 20 miler during marathon training to be prepared to race day. Ruth helps us de-bunk that myth and offers up a much better way to schedule training. You can follow Ruth at www.instagram.com/runwithruth.
