Those of you who are currently preparing for a marathon or triathlon in the fall are currently going through training phases with high endurance loads. Depending on when your event will take place, you will always have to complete a longer training run. These marathon-specific runs, as I call them – from 25 kilometers and beyond – are an irreplaceable part of your preparation.
