If you are running a marathon in the next 6 months you HAVE to read this...

Unlock the secrets to easy marathon running, and optimise your preparation for your next race with the UK's top endurance coaching team

Dear Runner,

Apart from possibly marriage and your mortgage, training for a marathon is one of the biggest commitments you will make in your life. Most marathon runners agree that the race itself is the easy bit, it is the training and preparation that requires the real dedication.

You know that you're going to have to put in the miles and you may even have already tried training techniques such as threshold running and hills, which are all vital ingredients in a marathon program. But without structure this is like having all the ingredients for a cake laid in front of you but no recipe to work from.

Where on earth do you start with putting it together? More to the point which training program are you going to follow and how can they all be so different yet promise the same thing?

You might be feeling a little apprehensive about dedicating all that time to your training – in a 16 week program you will be spending the equivalent of 3 straight days running – without completely trusting or understanding the program. This is really common, for both novice runners and seasoned athletes alike: nobody likes wasting their time especially when your marathon success depends on it.

The vast majority of "off the shelf" programs (even the "advanced" versions), are often too basic to truly prepare you optimally for the race. This is no fault of the programs; it’s just that it’s difficult to go into sufficient detail when you have only one page of A4 to describe 16 weeks of marathon training.

Also many of these pre-written programs are ill-conceived, either lacking in key areas of preparation or risking over training.

The only other alternative has been to employ a running coach, either face to face or using a remote coaching service. As long as you choose a good coach, this one to one method of coaching is vastly superior to following a program you picked out of a magazine, but it will also leave a bigger dent in your wallet.

So until now your only two alternatives have been to follow a basic magazine program or employ a private coach.

Until now, that is.

How would your running be different if you had a coach email you every Sunday with your week’s training program? What if this email contained everything you needed to know about pace, distance, time, intensity, terrain and everything else you needed to know in order to take you another step closer to achieving your goal?

What would it be like if you had access to some of the UK’s top coaches, physiotherapists, psychologists, nutritionists and strength conditioning experts?

What if all you had to do was get up in the morning and do your run, knowing with certainty that if you do it to the program you WILL achieve your target marathon time?

Well if this all sounds a little like one to one coaching, it’s because it is virtually the same apart from one tiny area: the cost. We will come to that a little later, but before we go on allow us to introduce ourselves.

Who are Full Potential?

Keith Anderson and Nick Anderson are both highly successful Full Potential marathon coaches

Full Potential coaches have been helping runners just like you for almost 2 decades now, through 1:1 remote coaching, face to face and small group workshops and training camps. The results from these formats have been little short of sensational, but it also left us with a problem.

We are severely limited with the number of runners we are able to help directly, due to the limited number of hours in the day. And so, to get around this small problem, we are delighted to bring you the FP Run Club.

This online coaching group is revolutionary in that it allows us to communicate with you on an almost 1:1 basis, through email, live phone and web seminars, and interactive forum support.

The benefits of joining the Run Club are many, including:

Full access to the members only coaching website
Weekly training emails with full details every run you need to complete
Personal coaching advice through the members only forum
Access to audio interviews by some of the country's top endurance runners, coaches, physios, nutritionists and psychologists

Body Conditioning

It is becoming more and more widely accepted that to improve your running and remain injury free you need to invest a portion of your training time in body conditioning.

As part of the FP Run Club you will have access to body conditioning programs that are designed to mobilise your joints, activate dormant muscles that may be holding you back, stabilise joints and increase the strength of your running muscles.

Every exercise has been selected for it's application to running, and each one is demonstrated in a video training series. The Body Conditioning Program is an integral part of the FP Run Club and is built directly into each schedule.

How does it work?

Getting started with the FP Run Club is a simple 3 step process. Join the club, select which marathon you are training for (we cover all the major marathons and if yours is not on the list you can easily add it) and which schedule you wish to follow (based on your target time) and then start to receive your weekly coaching emails.

There are 5 schedules, all designed personally by GB endurance coach Nick Anderson, which cover sub-3 hours, sub-3:30, sub-4 hours and sub-5 hours as well as a Get You Round program.

We cover all the major marathons in the UK and Europe in the next 6 months, and are continually adding more races to our list. If you are training for a race that is not listed, simply enter the name and date of the event and we will add it to the list!

Coaching emails sent to you every week

Too much information in one go can be overwhelming, which is why we tell you exactly what you need to know, exactly when you need to know it.

Every Sunday morning you will receive a coaching email explaining each session for the week ahead in as much detail as you will need to remove all doubt about each session. This ensures that you know precisely what you need to do, how long you need to run for and more importantly how fast you should be running at.

These coaching emails form the backbone of the FP Run Club and leave no room for interpretation on what is required in order to achieve your marathon goals.

As well as providing your weekly training schedule, these emails also contain invaluable and timely information about other elements of your preparations such as nutrition and mental focus as well as practical information on hydrating on the run and race day preparations.
