Ben Greenfield, a Spokane, WA endurance sports coach, and Jill Bruyere, a running coach and marathoner from Seattle, have developed a new marathon running system based on a four day per week running protocol. The program, called Marathon Dominator, is designed to teach an average individual with limited time how to actually run an entire marathon, and is also designed to allow more advanced athletes to run less, but have better results.
"A 4 day per week running schedule is optimal for a majority of busy runners," says Greenfield, "You can get all the mileage you need as a beginning to mid-level runner in 4 days. Adding more days, or more mileage will help you improve, but also introduces a higher likelihood of injury."
As a nutritionist, fitness coach and triathlete, Greenfield has run multiple marathons, but typically during Ironman triathlon events, so he teamed up with more experienced marathoner and running coach Jill Bruyere, who owns Bruyere Fitness in Seattle.
"Marathon training will be challenging, but should be fun and enjoyable," says Bruyere, who has run multiple events, including New York and Boston, "Following a marathon training program that does not overdo it on the running should help make the experience a pleasant one."
The program includes a 16 week running calendar and workout system, in-depth audio interviews on nutrition and injury prevention, two exercise videos for core and strength development, and brokered discounts on nutrition supplements. The entire Marathon Dominator package is available at http://www.marathondominator.com.
