Plan Description

The Honolulu Marathon is the fourth largest marathon in the United States after New York, Chicago, and Boston. There is no time limit which allows everyone to finish. The Honolulu Marathon course includes spectacular ocean views alongside world famous Waikiki Beach, and Diamond Head and Koko Head Volcanic Craters. The Course is flat except for short uphill grades around Diamond Head. This McMillan Marathon Training Plan is Greg’s tried and true marathon plan but specifically geared towards The Honolulu Marathon.

For each and every run, I'll provide the exact pace range for each run/workout (integrated from the McMillan Running Calculator) and will advance the paces as you progress through the training plan so you are always optimally challenged. I'm also making your plan really flexible so it can flow with your life. You can easily move runs around based on your life schedule.

In addition to the run training, I'm also going to have you perform our Strength Training routine that syncs with your run training as well as my form drills to help you improve your running form and learn to run fast. I'm providing 6 months complimentary access to my "prehab" programs so you can the routines and build yourself into a strong, supple, injury-resistant runner.

Weekly mileage = 55-80 miles per week (90-130 kilometers per week)*
*based on an average training pace of 7:00 min/mi (4:20 min/km)
NOTE: Each run includes a range of duration/distance and pace so actual mileage may vary.
