Even for the most experienced runners, preparing for a marathon is a serious undertaking. Training unfolds over weeks and gradually weaves itself into everyday life—early morning runs, weekends shaped around long efforts, tough speed sessions, and heavy legs. It’s all part of the journey.
To walk that path with you, we’ve created the Polar 2026 Marathon Training Program. Starting on 8 February, and for the following 12 weeks, you’ll receive a weekly email every Sunday with practical tips, expert guidance, workout suggestions, and words of encouragement from running coach Elisa Melilli.
To join the program, simply leave your email address here. It’s free.
Here’s what you can expect:
✔️ Weekly training suggestions
✔️ Expert tips and practical guidance
✔️ Support and advice from running coach Elisa Melilli
✔️ Preview of upcoming Polar products
✔️ Access to an exclusive edition of Polar Journal
The work demands time, focus, and energy, but it gives something back in return: purpose, structure, and the quiet confidence that every run is moving you closer to the start line.
