A running plan for the developing running enthusiast, seeking personal bests and all-time fitness highs, OR for long-time fitness enthusiasts who are looking to hone their running performance. This plan uses running workouts programmed with specific paces based off previous race efforts or estimates of best efforts. As with any good training plan, it starts progressively and builds to a peak using a combination of quality and easy days, optional forms of non-impact cardio training, plus suggested resistance training days, to progress you to your new marathon PR or other running distance PR! The goal of this plan is to prepare you to run a faster marathon than ever before.
