Plan Description
This plan is for a first time Full Marathon runner. It is set out over a period of 16 weeks with sufficient build and recovery time. The emphasis with this plan will help you get accustomed to holding a faster pace for a longer distance, and will be sustainable on race day.
This plan is for any first time Full Marathon runner that can (or has) run a Half Marathon race and wants to get to the next level. It is designed to cater for any novice at any level and is seen as a good base foundation to set further goals i.e Ultra Marathon and Ironman. The Long Run Sunday schedule is based over a 16 week period and is structured on a 4-Phased approach that builds upon previous weeks, specifically built for the novice athlete.
