About Marathon Labs
The Marathons Labs is the brainchild of Amy Woods (see bio below), who recognized that there was an inequity in the running world: not everyone can have a 1-1 coach. Amy began posting coaching videos on TikTok to help educate, and people started listening. And commenting. And asking REALLY good questions.
Amy also realized that yes, paper plans and run training apps were fine, but they weren’t great. Runners were getting hurt, frustrated, and not reaching their goals. They needed support – more than a social media soundbite.
And The Marathon Labs was created to fill that need. Gather a small group of committed marathoners, all training for the same race(s), in the same part of the training process. Make it affordable, educational, and accessible while building a community of like-minded runners, who want to stay healthy, get faster, and enjoy the process.
