Are you looking to hit a faster Marathon? this plan is for someone that is already capable of running a Marathon and is looking at improving their current PB.
This plan is time and heart rate based so a running watch with a heart rate monitor is required. If you have your pace and/or power metrics, you can interchange that with HR.
99% of runners are best suited to the Intermediate or Intermediate Level 2. The main difference between all my training plans are the volume and number of runs per week. The quality workout sessions are the same from Beginner to Advanced with Advanced 2 onwards getting an additional workout per week.
This plan is a 4 week base plan, designed to be used in conjunction with other blocks to build up your season. If you're looking for a full training plan, I offer a range of other training options.
I recommend my longer training plans (20 or 26 weeks) over the 12 to 16 week plans as the longer horizon gives you more time to adapt to the training. you should achieve similar levels of gains with the shorter duration plans however be more cautious of over work if you're not used to a lot of intensity and volume
All of my plans are the equivalent of $1 per week. Whether you pick a 5km, 10km, Half Marathon or Marathon, mixing and matching won't impact the cost.
You can do the sessions indoors or out on the road, whatever suits your preference, they're designed to work perfectly in either scenario. I personally like the comfort of the treadmill for the majority of my training knowing I'm hitting the session without going too hard on easy days and too easy on hard days.
