2h40 Marathon plan / 15 weeks
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.
The program is built over a 15-week period to build up a strong aerobic and anaerobic base for Marathon running.
Feel free to give it a try and post comment if it helped you achieve a PB.
Happy training & healthy running!
