Plan Description
This plan is for the time crunched athlete who enjoys running and can run 10 kms comfortably and is looking at adding a marathon to their running achievements.
The plan is for 4 workouts a week with cross training on rest days, such as stretching, gym, yoga, pilates, swimming or spinning to aid in core strength, conditioning and remaining supple whilst adding fitness. Your long run is on a Saturday. Each week the volume will increase with a recovery week every fourth week where the volume is reduced to allow the body some much needed rest and to recover.
