It takes a long time to train for a marathon, and trying to stay engaged for a full marathon training plan isn’t the easiest thing to do, even if you’re an elite runner.
“If you have a goal that’s too far away, you sometimes just go through the motions,” says Team GB marathon runner and New Balance ambassador Callum Hawkins. “Sometimes you don’t push yourself in training to the degree that you need to. I think breaking it up and having mini-goals keeps the motivation high and keeps you having fun.”
