Plan Description
Hey there athlete! Coach Griffin here,
By being on this page it means you’ve signed up or are gearing up for a Marathon, which is extremely exciting! Marathons are a huge part of my journey into coaching and I am constantly inspired by people like you that push themselves towards their potential.
This plan was designed for ultimate simplicity and is beneficial for first-timer Marathoners up to intermediate runners that want to cross the finish line without worrying about all the extra details. Keeping it simple keeps it manageable and fun!
The plan includes daily mileage targets (but you can always add or subtract 1-2 miles depending on how you're feeling) along with rest and optional cross training days to help keep you healthy and on track. By following this program you can build a strong and steady foundation that allows you to line up with confidence on race day!
I am excited to see where your journey takes you.
Happy training,
Coach Griffin
