Hansons Marathon Method: Fastest Marathon for Runners

The Hansons-Brooks Distance Project, one of the world's best running teams, has developed the revolutionary Hansons Marathon Method, a training program that can help you conquer your first marathon or achieve your fastest time. In this new second edition of Hansons Marathon Method, the coaches of the Hansons-Brooks Distance Project share their innovative marathon training program that has empowered thousands of runners to become true marathoners and shatter their personal records.

Hansons Marathon Method challenges the traditional running practices of mega-long runs and high-mileage weekends, which often lead to injuries and discourage runners. Instead, the Hansons method gradually builds runners up to the moderate-high mileage required for marathon success, distributing those miles more sensibly throughout the week. Through a combination of easy running days and precisely paced speed, strength, and tempo workouts, runners will fortify their bodies and minds to tackle the grueling final miles of the marathon and finish strong.

This revised second edition addresses frequent questions, demonstrates how to incorporate flexibility and strength work into your training week, and shares the most effective recovery techniques. Utilizing the Hansons' innovative approach, you will sculpt real marathon muscles, train your body to overcome the dreaded "wall," and prepare to run your fastest marathon.

For newer runners, the Hansons Marathon Method now includes a new "Just Finish" program featuring a simplified schedule of easier running and lower mileage. This program sets first-time marathoners up for an enjoyable race experience and a lifetime of robust, healthy running.

Whether you're an experienced or advanced marathoner, Hansons Marathon Method provides detailed training schedules to help you reach your goals. The program's sensible weekly mileage is based on science, not outdated traditions, and its effective Hansons-developed speed, strength, and tempo workouts are tailored to help you achieve your aspirations. Additionally, the book offers crucial guidance on nutrition and hydration to ensure you can run strong for the entire race.

As Runner's World states, "You might expect a training program devised by the Hanson brothers to be a little different than the usual rehashing of principles and schedules. Given the success of athletes from the Hansons-Brooks Distance Project, you wouldn't be surprised if it was effective, too." Hansons Marathon Method presents the smartest marathon training program available from one of the most accomplished running groups in the world, empowering you to mold real marathon muscles, overcome the wall, and race your fastest marathon.
