This 16-week training plan includes 8 sessions per week. (4 running sessions, 2 cycling sessions and 2 body weight, strength sessions per week.)
It involves 7hours to 10hours of training per week and 1 rest day per week.
Running Sessions vary from 40min - 3hours 30min.
Cycle Sessions are 1 hour.
Interval sessions on the bike are designed for an indoor trainer with power. It is possible to do these sessions outside, but a power meter on your bike will then be required.
Cycling is great cross training for running - improving cardiovascular fitness, strength and reduces your chance of injury.
Dynamic Running Warm Up Exercises with Videos are included to prevent injury and make sure you get the most out of your sessions.
Home Strength Sessions are 45min, and include videos of the exercises. Gym access not required.
Stretching and Foam Rolling Videos are also included to optimise recovery.
This structured training plan uses Heart Rate, Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) and Power on the bike.
A two week taper in the training plan insures that you are fresh and fast on race day.
This plan is designed to get you in great shape for a Marathon.
