Plan Description
This program is for serious runners with several Marathons and Half-Marathons under their belt.
If you've been running 2h45 or 2h50 marathons...and would like to break through the 2h40 barrier....then it is for you.
On a 5 sessions per week (2 recovery days usually Monday and Friday). 3 aerobic runs per week and 2 specific runs (intervals or threshold runs, and long runs).
Averaging between 65 and 85 km per week. Actually not that much compared to some other programs or athletes running 2h40.
