Training for sub 2:40 on the Canova Method
Renato Canova is a legendary Italian running coach. He's had over 50 athletes medal in the Olympics or World Championships in his career.
More recently he coached Emile Cairess to a 2:06 at the London Marathon in 2024 and also coached Sondre Moen to break the European Marathon Record to run 2:05 in 2017.
This week I'm adopting the Canova Method in my training to break 2:40 at the Mesa Marathon. My workouts focus on building race specific endurance by running a lot of goal Marathon pace with fast floats. Will this method take me to the promised land like it did for Alex Yee in Valencia? Or will it end in a blow up and send me back to my old ways of lighter training?
