Berlin Marathon Coach
Six men's world records have been set in Berlin. The course is flat, the pacing is honest, and the right plan converts.
Flat course strategy
No coasting on hills means metronomic pacing for 26.2 miles. We train evenness of effort, not just average pace.
September-specific peaking
A late-September race means peaking through August heat. We build heat acclimation in.
European travel & fuel
Jet lag, unfamiliar fueling at aid stations, and time-zone-shifted nutrition. We plan for race-week travel.
