Reviews
Marius Bakken’s 100 Day marathon plan has received positive reviews from everybody from elite runners who report dramatic improvements in their times, to people attempting the marathon for the first time.
This is in large part because it is structured in such an individualized way; it provides a challenging program based on your specific finish time goal if you are experienced and looking for a new PR, and a more low key approach if you are beginner who is still concentrating on how to run properly.
For the new runner, the information on choosing the best marathon is invaluable, as is the guidance he provides on selecting a running shoe and the proper nutrition that is essential for fueling your training.
The program is also masterful at presenting a training schedule that transitions the beginner from a 5K training schedule, to a 10K and on from there so that the process is not too daunting.
For experienced runners the program provides challenging heart rate oriented training that pushes you to explore your limits.
