Dubai marathon 2024
Every year, the Dubai Marathon is a special event for the InnerFight Endurance team. It's our home marathon and, as the stats often show, home advantage makes a big difference!
Marcus ran his first 42.2km there in 2010. Tom ran his first road marathon there in 2019. Rob Jones has lost count of his entries. Rob Foster ran it with his laces undone and Steph Humphrey became a running coach after being there in 2020!
Hundreds of IFE athletes have crossed the finishing line and become better humans for it. As we said, Dubai marathon is special.
Last year the Dubai Marathon started and ended in Expo city, but this time it was back where it belongs – the beautiful Jumeriah Beach Road in the heart of Dubai.
The atmosphere you experience thanks to the wide open, straight up and down course means all of the athletes in an InnerFight vest were bombarded with support. Not just from the crowds and coaches, but also from other athletes on the opposite side of the road!
Train for the Dubai Marathon with InnerFight Endurance
A look, a nod, a shout... It all makes a difference to the energy tank. It's also a course built for negative splits and fast finishes (if you get the negative part right).
The course profile also makes it a great way to start marathon running for beginners. There are no hills and lots of landmarks to help break it up into manageable chunks. If the 42.2km is a stretch too far the 10km is perfect – we truly believe anyone can get involved.
Although it’s not considered a major on the world marathon calendar, if you live in the UAE then the Dubai Marathon is always the main event!
If you’d like to take part in the Dubai Marathon next year, or would like help on improving your marathon performance, get in touch via endurance@innerfight.com. We’d love to help you!
ENGINE
We are going to mix things up a bit this week, varying modalities, time frames and distances designed to push your aerobic capacity.
GYMNASTICS
To kick things off, we will spend some time on Pull-ups and chest-to-bar pull-ups before we move off the rig and onto the floor as we look to break down and develop the Handstand Walk.
HYROX
Working on compromised running this week. Running consistently strong when there is nothing left in your legs is a key skill in Hyrox.
MOBILITY
Improving your overhead mobility will show you how to improve not only flexibility but also stability using a few key exercises that you can do in your own time.
PURE STRENGTH
In Pure Strength this week, we will kick the week off with a mixture of paused and unpaused back squats, followed by some heavy single-leg work. Wednesday sees us continue our progression on the strict press and the stationary dips.
WEIGHTLIFTING
This week in weightlifting we focus on the power snatch and hang power snatch with a series of complexes followed by some EMOM percentage work
Track Tuesday
