Never Train Alone Again!

Everyone knows that running a marathon is a massive undertaking. Twenty six point two miles in one go — no breaks, no detours — it’s crazy hard even if you have had some great training and preparation. But the part they don’t talk about? The dirty little secret of almost every long distance runner? Race Day is Easy compared to the weeks and months of training required to get ready!

Can’t Find A Team? Join a Nation of Runners!

Running clubs are everywhere, but they aren’t for everyone.  Maybe their long run is on Saturdays but you need to run during the week to be with your family. They might two weekly track sessions and you are just looking to build endurance. Maybe you are intimidated…or maybe you are really serious and don’t have the time to be social with your training.

Whatever the reason, you — and thousands of runners just like you – end up training on their own for the next big race! You know these folks, they are the same people you see at 5am running around your neighborhood…getting on the treadmill at the gym…pushing the jogging stroller. Everyone is getting it done…but thanks to Marathon Nation they can now be connected online!

It’s What the Elite Runners Do!

There’s  a reason why the elite American and international runners essentially live and train together 24/7. From groups like McMillan Elite to the Brooks – Hanson Project, the methodology behind creating great runners is clear: regardless of how you choose to train, it’s critical that you train together! Participantes are able to support one another, give advice, provide leadership, and find their own unique ways to excel. The unique Team Coaching model of Marathon Nation ensures that you get the best training plan, the best coaching input and the 24/7 support of your fellow runners and teammates.
