A self-managed marathon training program, designed by triathlon coach Barrie Shepley is now available. This is a great way for those not selected to join the Asthma Marathon Challenge and demonstrate that asthma need not restrict physical activity.

Three different training programs have been developed for the Asthma Marathon Challenge by former Olympic coach Barrie Shepley. Barrie has successfully coached and supported thousands of people through their first training goals, including marathons and triathlons. It is important that individuals honestly assess their current fitness status and select the training program appropriate for them. It is very important to consult your physician before starting any new exercise regimen.
