Marathon Training Coach, done properly — from anywhere in Dodola
A marathon is not a long run — it is a months-long logistics project wearing running shoes. Maddy's marathon coaching manages the whole build: a base phase that earns the mileage, long runs that progress on a schedule with cutback weeks protecting the climb, a small dose of quality work once the base holds, and a genuine taper so you arrive at the start line fresh instead of proud and cooked. Fueling is treated as a training variable — you practise your race-day carbohydrate plan on long runs, because the gut adapts like a muscle. Strength work stays in the week to keep the chassis together as mileage rises. Check-ins track completed sessions, effort, sleep, and niggles, and the plan bends around real life — travel weeks, missed runs, and heat all have written answers rather than guilt.

The method — how Maddy coaches this
- A full periodized build: base, long-run progression, quality phase, then a genuine taper.
- Long runs progress on schedule with cutback weeks written in — the climb is protected, not gambled.
- Race-day fueling practised on long runs, because the gut trains like a muscle.
- Strength sessions stay in the week to keep the chassis durable as mileage rises.
- Travel, heat, and missed weeks have written protocols — the plan bends before the runner does.
Who this is for:
- First-time marathoners who want to finish strong and intact, not just finish.
- Half-marathoners stepping up who suspect the full is a different sport — they are right.

Common questions
How long do I need to train for my first marathon?
It depends on the base you bring. A runner comfortable at 10K typically needs a substantial multi-month build; someone starting from less needs the base phase first. The honest answer comes from your Body Scan and current mileage — and the plan is sized from that, not from a generic countdown.
Will I run the full 42 km in training?
No — and no credible plan asks you to. Long runs peak well short of race distance; the combination of accumulated mileage, the taper, and race-day freshness covers the rest. The full distance is for the day that counts.
What does the taper actually do?
It trades the last drops of fitness you could add for the recovery that lets you express the fitness you already built. Volume drops while intensity is maintained, and runners who skip it usually find out why it existed.
