Plan Description

10k to Marathon Beginner Training Plan 2023 - 4-6 Hour Marathon




Are You Ready?



This plan is designed for runners who feel comfortable with running regular 10k runs. It covers different training zones with structured workouts based on heart rate, RPE or pace. The longest run is 3 hours 30 mins and includes a taper before the race. Time based long runs is better than distance when you're a beginner, it gets you used to being out there until the clock says to stop, whereas running to distance can lead to the temptation to speed up which is the last thing we want to do when focusing on endurance training.

What Will You Achieve?



This plan lasts for 14 weeks and the aim is to get your physically and mentally ready to complete your marathon at the end of the plan.

Free Training Peaks Account



By registering for this fantastic plan, not only will you receive an incredible training schedule with structured workouts, but you'll also receive a complimentary Training Peaks Basic Account upon signing up. This account will enable you to have your weekly sessions organised and synced with your calendar, ensuring that you never overlook a session. This plan revolves around sessions structured with efforts focused on Heart Rate.
