Plan Description

This training plan is a 16 week build leading to a marathon race. Ideally this plan is for people who have a minimum of 4-8 weeks base aerobic fitness. It begins with aerobic base building as well as setting a foundation of mobility and stability that will allow runners to proceed injury free and with the durability required to maintain pace throughout the length of a marathon. All strength training workouts come with videos and descriptions and are designed specifically for runners. The strength, mobility, and stability workouts is what sets this plan apart from other marathon plans.


This plan is for runners who want to add a speed component to their marathon goals, and therefore provides speedwork, intervals, and run drills in order to maximize technique and efficiency.

Laura Marcoux Coaching

Energy Alignment & Flow Coaching: 
In a typical coaching framework, the gratification of hitting a performance metric or achieving a goal is often short lived, dependent on external recognition, and centered within a preexisting framework of success.
Although success and achievement are created and experienced here, they are not the purpose. We learn how to cultivate and live from an inspired and grounded center, which innovates and manifests entirely new more holistic cosmologies of success.
