HOW TO: LONG RUNS

It pushed me to do runs I never thought possible. It makes me believe that maybe I can still get faster even though I’m older.

I was looking for a coaching program to help me train for a half-marathon that was a little more specific than the generic programming on Strava or Runkeeper.

Ability to stack training plans instead of cookie cutter programs. Also, of course, the awesome training programs for all aspects of conditioning.

I would highly recommend McMillan Training to other runners for the following reasons: access to a top-rated coach, access to many training plans, access to videos on strength and core training and the ability to interact with other runners.

I wanted to put a bit more laser focus on my goals. I wanted specific training to help me get my speed and fitness back while also keeping a balance so as not to get injured.

Really like how you explain the science behind each run. Nike app says ‘run far today’ or ‘run fast today.’ [McMillan Training] daily email tells me that today is about building some specific part of my ability and what to focus on, and has the resources if I want to learn more.

After researching other personal coaching websites, I found McMillan Running to be the best option, easiest to use and understand, as well as the best value for me.

I was looking for a marathon training plan with workouts geared specifically toward the marathon distance. McMillan Training offered this and was also super affordable.

Wanted a coach to take training to the next level and the idea of a social network for runners appealed to me. I had been using McMillan’s running calculator for training on my own and was excited by the opportunity to get more advice from him.

I like the simplicity and access to plans. It makes all the difference. It takes out all the guesswork. I feel like the only thing I need to do is to get out the door and run.
