Plan Description
This plan is for the runner who is ready to take on their 1st marathon. The challenge lies with getting in enough volume to optimize your ability, BUT NOT BREAK DOWN! Gwen Jorgensen and Coach Bobby McGee wrote this plan for you to complete that 1st marathon that you ought to be capable of, with lots of walking & specific sessions designed to make marathon day a success, while having fun. The plan allows you to grow gradually & all importantly realize that long easy runs are NOT marathon pace runs, but preparation to run faster on marathon day. Be confident AND ready to race in 12 weeks.
