Hansons Marathon Method: A Renegade Path to Your Fastest Marathon Copertina flessibile – 1 ottobre 2012

4,6 su 5 stelle 429 voti

In Hansons Marathon Method, the coaches of the Hansons-Brooks Distance Project reveal the methods they've used to turn their runners into race winners, national champions, and Olympians. Hansons Marathon Method offers a radical overhaul of marathon training that promises to turn any runner into a true marathoner and help experienced marathoners set new personal bests.

Hansons Marathon Method does away with mega-long runs and high-mileage weekends--two outdated traditions that make most runners miserable. Instead, runners using the Hansons method will gradually build up to the moderate-high mileage required for marathon success, spreading those miles more sensibly throughout the week. Running easy days mixed with precisely paced speed, strength, and tempo workouts, runners will steel their bodies and minds to run the hardest miles of the marathon.

Both Beginner and Advanced training programs feature the unique Hansons 16-mile long run which, as part of the Hansons program, is ideal for preparing the body for the marathon. Humphrey explains how runners should set their goal race pace and shows how to customize the Hansons method to their own needs, like adding extra racing, running more miles, and handling training interruptions.

Detailed nutrition and hydration chapters help runners pinpoint their personal energy and hydration needs so they know precisely how much to eat and drink during workouts, race week, race day, and for recovery. The Hansons approach to pacing and nutrition means marathoners will never hit the wall.

Hansons Marathon Method lays out the smartest marathon training program available from one of the most accomplished running groups in the nation. Using this innovative approach, runners will mold real marathon muscles, train their body to never hit the wall, and prepare to run their fastest marathon.

    5,0 su 5 stelle Une methode clair pour courir un marathon
    Recensito in Francia il 20 ottobre 2013
    Cherchant une méthode pour finir mon premier marathon, en cherchant sur le net je tombe sur des forum qui parle des Hanson. J'avait deja plus ou moin commencer un plan avec Micoach d'addidas, j'ai quand meme commander le livre. Meme si votre niveau est bas en anglais, il se lit très facilement. Tout est expliquer et justifié.
    J'ai donc commencer ce plan d'entrainement, et je le trouve tres bien. Il faut bien sur etre libre 6jours sur 7 pour courir. Sortie facile le vendredi samedi lundi (de 35min a 1h15), séance de vitesse en fractionné le mardi (Un peu plus d'une heure incluant échauffement et retour au calme), et deux sortie un peu plus longue : Sortie allure marathon le jeudi (qui en fin de programme en incluant l'échauffement et le retour au calme atteint la longueur d'un semi), et enfin la sortie longue le dimanche, de 16miles (25.7km environs).

    Il y a deux programme présenté : Le "débutant" et le "confirmé". Le débutant commence par quatre semaine de mise a niveau kilométrique, pour pouvoir avaler les km ensuite. Personnellement n'ayant plus assez de temps avant mon marathon, et courant déjà 4 a 5 fois par semaine, j'ai commencer directement a la semaine 5. Le but du plan est de permettre de travailler la distance sur toute la semaine, et pas sur une longue course unique le dimanche et deux a trois autre petite sortie la semaine, dont une de récup.

    Tout est démontrer, et simple. Rendez vous en janvier pour connaitre le résultat.

    5,0 su 5 stelle Skeptical? Just try it!
    Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 29 maggio 2013
    I've noticed that people who have not tried this plan like to debate the merits in running forums, saying such things as "I don't buy it." But this is not a theory. It's practice, and it works. In fact, it's been working for 20 years, but now it's available to all of us.

    I was initially skeptical too. Give up the 20 mile long run? Run more miles more frequently, after I have been convinced by training programs and coaches that three days a week is enough? A friend of mine who has more courage than I do gave it a go a year before I did, even before this book was published. Based on an article in Runner's World, she used it to train for the New York Marathon, and she surpassed her expectations. But it wasn't until the second season that it really paid off. She cut 30 minutes (!) off her marathon time AND qualified for Boston! That sort of improvement is not uncommon in one's first year or two of marathoning. But this happened in the fifth year, after all those initial improvements had already been achieved.

    Considering we had plateaued at about the same PR for a couple of years, I was both shocked and inspired. So I tried it the next season. Although I only cut 3 (three) minutes off my PR, I felt healthier at the end of the race than I ever had before, and I know that I would have done even better had I followed the plan more diligently. (I missed too many speedwork and tempo runs.)

    The key to this plan, like any finely tuned training regimen, is to follow it as closely as possible. It's not just a 16-miler instead of a 20-miler: It's three 16-milers. It's not just more mileage, it's more quality miles, which means the proper mix of easy runs, speed interval workouts, and long tempo runs. The author explains how each type of workout results in different physiological adaptations, and he has provided a plethora of tables--race equivalency tables, the proper pacing for your easy runs and tempo runs based on your marathon goal time, and two different 18-week plans, one for beginners and one for advanced runners. The book includes valuable sections on how to adjust the plan to account for illness, injury, and mid-training shorter races. There is not an ounce of fluff in these pages.

    Although I haven't BQ'd yet, I am confident that I will IF I follow the plan. Bonus: I PR'd at shorter distances too, winning my age group in the 5K and 10K, because this plan delivers strength, stamina, and speed. And although my marathon time after the first season of Hansons was not what I'd hoped, it was wonderful to feel good at the finish line. Usually my leg muscles feel as though they are about to explode off the bones after a marathon PR, and that they are held together only by KT tape and compression socks. But after my first Hansons marathon, I was walking around just fine later that afternoon, and my recovery time was cut in half. That alone is worth the price of the book.

    Recensito in Canada il 7 marzo 2013
    The Hansons Marathon Method is a the best training plan book I have ever read. Very easy to follow and understand, the book backs up all its suggestions with strong sports physiology research and reasoning. I highly recommend this book to marathoners of all levels who want a solid, well-researched, effective plan where every workout has a specific purpose. Excellent, excellent book!

    5,0 su 5 stelle Must have book If training with Hansons plan
    Recensito nel Regno Unito il 26 gennaio 2015
    Received the book in post this morning and finished it today. Once you decide to use this method to train for your marathon I would highly recommend getting the book. Explains everything in great detail. Will update review in May after the marathon is finished. Will let you know if the plan goes to plan. UPDATE UPDATE just finished the marathon using this plan. Trained for 3:50 finished in 3:50:59... I would highly recommend this plan to anyone thinking of doing a marathon even a first timer like me, be prepared to run 6 days a week and follow every detail to a tee.

    3,0 su 5 stelle nichts Neues
    Recensito in Germania il 6 dicembre 2012
    Das ist mein sechstes Marathon-Laufbuch, und ich habe beschlossen, dass ich ab jetzt keines mehr kaufe. Der Inhalt der Bücher variiert nur marginal. Es ist zweifelsfrei ein solides Trainingsbuch, keine Frage. Ich komme allerdings zum Schluß. dass es nichts Neues gibt. Es werden zwar immer wieder Methoden gehypt, aber im Grunde steht in den Büchern nichts anderes als in meinem allerersten, dass ich vor ca. 30 Jahren gekauft hatte. Damals war Laufen noch einfach, wir waren aber aber deswegen nicht langsamer.
