Why choose an Adaptive Training plan?

Shape the future of marathon training

There has been an enormous growth in marathon running in recent years, and this has seen more recreational runners of all ages participating in local and international half and full marathons. Many participants want to prepare well and rely on paid or free training programs (promoted by celebrities or training gurus), which they download trom the internet.

Despite claims that these training programs are personalized, closer examination shows that the extent of personalization is minimal. What’s more, these 12-to-16-week programs are static and never adapted to the moment when the runner has to carry out a training session.

In a large majority of cases the training schedules do not take the runner’s specific situation into account: lower levels of condition, training too much, minor injuries, insufficient recuperation, one or more missed training sessions, stressful days, etc. And these are but some of the events that can result in the original training schedule no langer being optimal.
