scottishathletics are pleased to offer an online learning session for the marathon community in the countdown to the autumn marathon season.

Our intention is to provide some guidance and insight to both athletes and coaches in what it takes to prep for the unique challenge that is the marathon.

The session will be presented by Robert Hawkins, our National Endurance Manager (Olympic Pathway) and UKA Coach.

Robert coaches and has coached multiple Olympic, World Champs, Commonwealth Games, GB and Scotland International athletes with those athletes involved in distances ranging from 800m to Marathon. Robert coaches Callum Hawkins, the Scottish Record holder in the marathon and fourth place finisher at two World Champs.

Attendees will hear first^–hand personal experience of the keys to maximising your race day experience, plus the coaching, planning, research and support required to successfully navigate the potential hurdles on the way.
