Plan Description

Neil Murphy Dublin City marathon 2017 2:59:45




Who is this plan for?
This 18 week plan will help an advanced marathoner prepare for a PB based on 50 - 90 km of running per week.


To be successful with this plan you should have at least 2 - 3 years of running experience including completing a previous marathon to date.


Typical week
On avg the plan works off a basis of 5 run sessions and 2 full recovery day - with the hourly training load ranging from 6 - 9 hours a week.


NB it is strongly advised that athletes incorporate other non run based exercise such as yoga, pilates and/or stretching to minimise risk of injury


What do you get in this plan?
• FREE 30 day premium access to Training peaks
• “How to” document advising how to use the plan
• Training zones using feel, heart rate or pace

Customer promise
I want you to be set for success with a plan that is right for you. So, if after the first few weeks of training, you feel over/under challenged by the training load - I will switch you free of charge to an equivalent plan from the Beginner/Intermediate or Advanced plans from my catalog.
