Plan Description

This Marathon pre season plan is designed for experienced high level athletes looking to make big gains in the off season, It is appropriate for endurance and cross-country racers that respond well to slightly higher volume.
Included
-strength conditioning;
-cross training and
- core workouts for specific performance benefits

The plan accommodates training in moderate (seasonal) climates, to include some cross-training activity. My custom and fun bike workouts keep the training fresh, while building the important rock-solid foundation of fitness you'll need for a great season.

This training plan is "dynamic" not a boring long/slow/distance training plans/

By building power and endurance and skill you can parlay independent performance gains during the build phase and reach new levels.

This plan features one 4-day training block/camp during the final month: plan to schedule for this accordingly. Yoga is not incorporated in this plan. If you practice yoga, substitute out the short core workouts for your existing practice is great.

Consultation and customization of this plan is available. E-mail me, I would love to help you attain your goals!


Good luck and keep it fun!
