Feedback from a happy half marathon runner

"Hi there gary.
Once again your advice paid off. I got through my half marathon on the weekend pretty well. Didn't time it perfectly as the last 2km the body had done its dash , but i had done enough earlier on to get me through to the finish to do a pb. I went 3 min quicker than i have before.(1hr 27min) I've put the blow out with 2km to go down to a faster first 5km than usual. This was something i wanted to try out on myself to see how it would go. Next time it will be a notch slower over the first 5km. Thanks again gary. Your free information and knowledge is 2nd to none."

I now have over 1,300 articles and e-books sitting online eagerly awaiting download.  This all free information that is funded by my tiny webstore. I count on the occasional person, out of the hundreds of thousands of readers who make use of these online freebies, to purchase something off me.  Thank goodness some do!  Otherwise this rather unique service would not exist.

Here's an example of what a Google search brings up: "gary moller training for a marathon".  Try Googling my name, plus any key word about health, nutrition or fitness and see what pops up.  For example try: "gary moller super smoothie".  There's a heap of information sitting out there.  I have been busy.

Advice for training for a marathon

Lorraine Moller - London Marathon1980

Hi there Gary

I have read a lot about you and your training programmes. I find all your information very helpful. I have only been running for about a year after having a number of years of cycling behind me. I completed my first goal of a half marathon last June with limited training and knowledge (1hr 40min) this was a great eye opener.

I am looking at running the Christchurch marathon on June 6th. I am only able to train 3 days a week due to work and home commitments. Do you have any training programmes that I can access to help me on my way. I have been doing 1 long run on the weekend at present of about 15km-20km, 1 session on my indoor trainer (bike 30min spinning) and a faster 5km-10km.

I have no real guide lines and knowledge of what I should doing for this event as I realise that a marathon is completely different to any other running event. I would appreciate any help given.

Interview with Dr Keith Livingstone about Healthy, Intelligent Training and Lydiard

"Keith Livingstone, from New Zealand recently published a new book about an old training method, writing it in today’s language. He has taken the famous training method of the late and incomparable Arthur Lydiard and modernized it so everyone can understand the theory and application fully in a book he calls, Healthy Intelligent Training or H.I.T for short.

The Lydiard method may have produced dozens of international medals for New Zealand, Finland and several other countries,......."

I have a couple of spare copies of Keith's book. If you want a copy, you can have it for NZ$40 plus post. First in - first served.

Advice for training for a marathon and the Oxfam Trailwalker

Hi Gary

I am a reasonably fit 33 yr old female - I run usually 4-5 times a week, about 20-30 mins on weekdays and 10 - 15 kms on the weekend. I also walk for at least 40 mins 4-5 times a week. I have a goal to run a marathon next year in June, and have also just been asked to join a trailwalker team for next year. My concern is that if I sign up to do both, I may burn myself out before the marathon, which is the goal I really want to achieve (and I know it will take some work to do it). Do you think it is taking on too much to try and do both? Thanks for your advice!

Angela
