Aiming for a Marathon?

It’s that time of year when everyone finds out if they have been successful in securing a place in next year’s London Marathon. For those of you who have, congratulations, and for those of you who were unfortunate this time around there is always the chance to run for a charity, or aim for another race.

The key to enjoying your first (or any!) marathon, is getting the preparation right. Nowadays there are an abundance of generic marathon training plans available on the internet along with dietary advice, endless tips and do’s and don’ts. More often than not the training plans and tips contradict one another which can lead to a lot of confusion. Here at Phoenix Pro Fitness we want to make effective training really simple for you. Our race experienced team of coaches and therapists will be there for you every step of the way, providing a bespoke marathon training plan to take you from your first prep run to race week; this includes personalised strength training sessions with a highly qualified coach to help you develop speed, strength and stay injury free in the run up to your race and group regeneration sessions tailored to recovering from post run muscle fatigue. We believe that, for any health related goal, the right nutritional plan is crucial for success so we also provide all of our members with comprehensive dietary advice geared towards running.

If you are an experienced runner wanting to really improve your time or you’re feeling demotivated by the same old training schedule, we can help you overcome any plateaus by applying a fresh approach to your marathon training. It’s a myth that clocking up high mileage every week is the way to train successfully as it more often than not leads to overuse injuries. Research proves that if strength endurance training is incorporated into the weekly training schedule, stamina and speed is greatly improved resulting in optimal race performance and a reduction in injury occurrence.

If you are looking for a tailored ‘road map’ to help you cross the finish line with good form come race day, then the team at Phoenix Pro Fitness can help.

Our 3 month marathon training membership offers you a comprehensive road map to your goal, full use of our state of the art new gym, unlimited access to our scientifically backed class programme and a great goodie bag (worth £89) for just £199 per month. We also have an experienced in-house team of massage therapists to help keep you on top form en route to crossing the start line next April and beyond. We really are the ‘One Stop Shop’ approach to training for the marathon, so make a huge leap forward today and choose to leave the planning to us!

If you’d like to try our club before you decide to commit to a membership, our 30 day All Access Membership lets you experience everything we have to offer for just £69. We are certain that you will see improvements in your strength, flexibility and cardiovascular fitness within that time, helping you on your way to achieving something special.

For more information please call us on 01483 801150 or drop in and say hi. We’re based at Woodside Park, Catteshall Lane, Godalming, Surrey GU7 1LG
