In Episode 58 of the Running on Carbs Podcast, Coach Val continues her dive into "Marathon Month" by exploring one of the most debated topics in marathon training: how far should your peak long run be?
In this episode we’ll compare four distinct coaching philosophies from renowned marathon experts - Jeff Galloway's ambitious 29-mile approach, Hal Higdon's traditional 20-mile cap, the Hansons' unconventional 16-mile maximum, and Jack Daniels' time-based strategy.
Each method offers unique physiological and psychological benefits for different types of runners. Whether you're training for your first marathon or looking to improve your performance, this episode breaks down the science and reasoning behind these approaches to help you determine which training philosophy best suits your individual needs, goals, and recovery abilities.

Are you tired of starting and stopping your fitness journey? Frustrated with New Year's resolutions that fizzle out by February?
Here's the truth: motivation isn't what's holding you back. In this game-changing episode, discover why relying on motivation is setting you up for failure – and learn the proven 5-step method to create lasting transformation in your running and nutrition journey.
In This Episode we’ll delve into the deep wisdom of the saying “the mirror won't smile back until you smile first" and how this applies directly to your running journey. We'll explore the real reason most New Year's resolutions fail and how you can avoid this common trap that derails so many athletes. You'll learn about a powerful shift in thinking that turns sporadic running into an unshakeable habit, along with practical strategies to overcome overly optimistic plans and how they lead to missed workouts. We'll discuss how to transform from "someone who runs" to "a committed runner," and reveal the secret to making plant-based nutrition a sustainable lifestyle rather than a temporary diet.
Key Takeaways
Success in running and nutrition begins with identity-based change, not just goal-setting. We explore how small, consistent decisions shape your athletic identity more than grand gestures ever could. You'll learn why success comes from preparing and planning, not waiting for motivation to strike. We discuss the transformative power of community and accountability in maintaining long-term changes, and why focusing on one significant change at a time leads to better results than trying to overhaul everything at once.
