• 87 | Why Your Marathon Training Needs to Change as You Get Faster
    Aug 25 2026

    In Episode 87 of The Knighton Runs Podcast, Coach Chris explains why the training that helped you become the runner you are today may not be the training that takes you to the next level.


    As you train, recover, and adapt, your fitness changes—and your training should evolve with it. Chris discusses why marathon development is better thought of as a series of rising waves, how to recognize when a training stimulus has stopped challenging you in the same way, and why progression does not always mean running more miles or training harder.


    You'll learn how to evaluate what worked in your last training cycle, identify what may be limiting your progress, and make smarter decisions about what needs to change as you become a stronger and faster runner.
