In this episode of the Marathon Running Podcast, we sit down with running

coach and Olympic trial runner Erica Weitz to explore the essential workouts

and strategies for marathon training. Erica shares her expert insights on key

workouts like long runs, tempo runs, interval training, and hill repeats, all

of which are vital for building endurance, speed, and strength.

We also discuss the importance of easy runs, cross-training, and strength

training in preventing injuries and enhancing overall fitness. Erica emphasizes

the significance of consistency, listening to your body, and gradually

progressing in your training. She offers valuable advice on balancing

high-intensity workouts with recovery, maintaining motivation throughout a long

training plan, and avoiding common mistakes like overtraining and neglecting

rest.
