This 16 week immediate marathon programme is designed for those looking to complete marathon with structure, direction and accountability. Mileage increases gradually and will hopefully get you across the line in between 3.15 to 3.45.
This programme will introduce athletes to some key specific marathon sessions, add some structure into their programme and motivate them fully over the 16 week period, with a virtual HM time trial along the way.
Workout days will consist of 3 parts.
1. Warm Up - Please add your own drills, stretching &a strides into workout. These have not been included.
2. Main Session > Remember these are sessions and not races! Train smart. Do not let your ego take over!
3. Warm Down - Will put your legs in a better position for when we go again.
Designed by 2.22 marathoner, 2020 New York Virtual Marathon winner and head coach at Team Real Runners Kevin Quinn, I hope you enjoy your 16 week run journey with us.
- I have received invaluable advice and support from Kevin for over a decade. His knowledge and ability is outstanding but what really sets him apart is his integrity and ability to inspire runners at every level, even though he is at the very top of his game himself, he always encourages and sets realistic targets at whatever level.
* You should be able to run a HM continuously and in sub 1 hr 40 minute before starting this programme. At all times listen to your body and only attempt what you feel physically capable off. You are the best judge of your body. Never be a hero!
