Training & Performance

Marathon training is more than just logging miles — it’s about learning how to train smart, fuel properly, and prepare your body and mind for race day.

This section is where the Warhawk Marathon Club breaks down the key parts of marathon training in a way that actually makes sense for college students. Through blog posts written by our founder and club leadership, we share insights on topics like weekly mileage, long runs, nutrition, recovery, tapering, and race preparation — all based on real training experience and evidence-based guidance.

The goal isn’t to overwhelm you with complicated plans or one-size-fits-all advice. Instead, this space is meant to help runners understand why certain training principles matter and how to apply them in a realistic, sustainable way alongside classes, work, and campus life.

Whether you’re training for your first marathon or trying to improve your performance, these posts are designed to help you train with intention, avoid common mistakes, and feel more confident throughout the process.

Train smarter. Fuel better. Show up ready.
