Plan Description
The Beginner Marathon plan is geared to first-timer marathoners who have been running 3-5 miles comfortably 3-4 times per week for at least six months. The plan gradually builds in mileage and intensity allowing your body to adapt to the new distances each week. We progress from a 5 mile long run to one 20 mile long run in prep for the race.
The plan includes four runs per week, optional cross-training workouts, yoga, functional strength workouts, and rest days, and also a field test to set heart rate zones.
