“Norwegian Marathon and Half Marathon Training Plan" is a structured plan with five to six sessions a week. For 17 to 19 weeks, you will receive inspiring sessions based on your heart rate and speed. There's no need to stress about speed! Run at a controlled pace, and the speed will come as your aerobic capacity increases. The training plan`s utilizes the heart rate zones developed by the Norwegian Olympiatoppen and incorporates knowledge from Norway’s best runners and coaches. In creating this plan, I used my experience of running over 50 marathons, achieving a personal best time of 2:30:02, and winning several long-distance in France and Denmark and half-distance triathlons in Norway, Denmark, Portugal, Cozumel.
At the age of 61, I achieved the best age group time in Norway (60-65) for a marathon with a time of 2:52 in the Paris Marathon. However, the most crucial aspect of developing the "Norwegian Marathon and Half Marathon Training Plan" is the experience and feedback gained from training others over the years. Now, you can benefit from all this knowledge. Using a heart rate monitor and focusing on the appropriate intensity, you will run based on your daily form. The interval sessions are diverse and motivating, requiring a focus on maintaining the correct intensity. Additionally, the long run is crucial to building your ability to complete the marathon distance.
