Plan Description

Make your upcoming Boston Marathon your best one yet! Luke Humphrey Running has taken our wildly successful Hansons marathon programs and tailored them specifically for the unique Boston course. We’ve also bundled all of our video resources to make the whole picture of the training come together. Here’s a quick look at everything you get:

- An 18 week detailed program that peaks out at 100 miles per week and utilizes my alternator style of plan (one workout during week, and either a long run or tempo on weekend)
- All of our Boston Marathon training course videos and handouts (5 courses and hours of video in .MP4 format)
- Our presentations and video on flexibility, resistance, and ancillary training
- Videos on recovery, bouncing back from illness and injury, and nutrition
- Videos on executing your Boston race plan, and returning to running post race
-structured workout feature and daily pace guidance
-PDF of plan
-access to private training community

NOTE: When you apply this plan, apply with the end date of the Sunday following marathon Monday. I have some recovery items in the six days following the race.
