This is a marathon plan for novice runners. This plan is for athletes who have not run the marathon before, and are looking to commit more time and training for a satisfying outcome in their first upcoming marathon. Athletes in this plan will build a base level of fitness entering the plan. They will be running 6 days a week, with one double run a week, 1-2 core sessions a week, one strength training session a week, and an occasional walk after a long run. Athletes in this plan have trained for a marathon before, but want to do consistent training and see where that takes them. They want to use all tools, including mental training, to help them be the most well-rounded athlete they can be.
