-
- Running
Why is having a structured training plan important? What are the most common mistakes people make in training for a marathon? How do you get the taper right?
We are joined by Pete Cooper, founder of the official coaching app for the London Marathon, Coopah, and James Thie, head coach for Coopah. We hear about the inspiring story behind starting Coopah and how it has gone on to helping so many people achieve their goals, realising the importance of both the physical and mental side of running.
We also get plenty of tips on how to approach and structure marathon training, how to stick to a plan when lacking motivation, what to do in the taper period and how to get the most out of yourself on race day!
