Plan Description
Welcome to the first 6 weeks of your 22 week marathon plan.
This plan is meant for athletes that are new to the marathon distance, but are still driven to perform at their highest level. The weekdays have progressive overloading (more and more time) at a moderate intensity. You'll notice that this tempo work doesn't get more difficult because your ability to sustain the efforts will increase.
When you are finished with this plan, you should advance to the "The Marathon Rookie - Build Phase" which is another 8 weeks of training.
The final block of training is the "The Marathon Rookie - Race Phase" (8 weeks). This is meant to build fitness and experience specific to your race goals, and taper you so that you're properly rested for race-day. This is only meant for athletes that have finished the initial 16 weeks of the marathon plan.
NOTE: Although heavy intensity workouts result in quick and significant gains, they can and often do result in injury. This is why it's important to NOT skip the lifting workouts of this plan. The lifting is specifically designed for injury prevention as well as performance enhancement.
