Good preparation is the be-all and end-all.
Lactate tests, training plans and running meetings are helpful.
A mixture of special endurance training and muscle strengthening units is important. The rule here is: volume before intensity. In other words, more long, easy endurance runs than short, intensive tempo runs. Because training is not a competition, runners should stick to the training plan.
Our offer for a good preparation includes training plans, lactate tests and running meetings.
As a special service, training plans for marathons, half marathons and quarter marathons are being offered this year in cooperation with the Austrian Endurance Center led by sports physician Ronald Ecker and sports scientist Alex Unger in preparation for the Oberbank Linz Danube Marathon. Plans for beginners, advanced runners and ambitious competitors are available to download via an app.
Why should I choose a training plan?
A training plan for a run is crucial for increasing fitness and preparing for the race.
The three-phase structure of Base (8 weeks to build endurance), Build (8 weeks of increasing speed and strength) and Peak (8 weeks of optimizing race performance) ensures a gradual and effective increase in performance.
Each phase builds on the previous one to minimize injuries and to be in top shape for the race at the right time.
It is also possible to continue in the build or Peak phase, but we recommend all 3 phases to reach your full potential.
Start on October 23, 2023 to be TOP Fit at the start of the Linz Marathon!
The optimal preparation includes the 3x 8 week plans until the 22nd Oberbank Linz Donau Marathon on April 7, 2024. Of course, it is also possible to download a training plan at any time and start with the targeted training according to the plan.
The training plans are now available for download. The cost of an 8-week plan is €59.90. (Discount when purchasing multiple plans)
