Welcome to the third block of the "Marathon Rookie" plan (8 weeks).
This plan's purpose is to build fitness and experience specific to your race goals, and taper you so that you're properly rested for race-day. You will build time at your goal race pace effort as well as practice a nutrition plan for race-day. Notice I said effort and not pace. On race-day, there is a difference. I'll explain more about this in the workouts.
This is only meant for athletes that have finished the initial 16 weeks of the marathon plan.
NOTE: Strength workouts are not built into these final 8 weeks. This plan assumes you have followed the strength routines from the prior training plans.
