Hanson's Marathon Method

Hanson’s Marathon Method is a structured training plan designed to improve marathon performance by balancing intensity and recovery. It emphasizes consistent weekly mileage, including a mix of long runs, tempo runs, and easy runs, with most workouts at moderate intensity. The approach reduces the frequency of overly hard workouts, allowing the body to adapt and recover faster, which helps prevent injury and maintain steady progress. By running less aggressively but more consistently, runners build endurance and strength gradually, aiming for durable, sustainable improvements without burnout.
