Road to Valencia- 8 weeks to go

In this new mini-series, we will share a week-by-week account of Dan's preparations for Valencia marathon where he is targeting the European Road Running Championships qualifying time of 2:12:30. As this is a podcast about physiology, the emphasis will be on how Dan uses his own data, and findings from the scientific literature, to optimise his training and performance come race day. In this first episode, we breakdown the results from Dan's recent submax test and discuss how that will inform what his training will look like over the next 8 weeks. Dan's test data can be found here: Dan Nash- submax test (3.10.24).pdf You can submit questions for our Q and A episode here: https://forms.gle/XGmxsR6dsanikRSX7
