Plan Description
THE DISTANCE COACHING
AN EDUCATED APPROACH TO RUNNING PROGRAM DESIGN
So, you want to run a strong Marathon? Not sure how to train for it? This program is for you.
This program is a "lead-in" program. It assumes that you have already been training consistently for your Marathon. This program is the final 12 week "race-specific" phase of training and was adapted from programs written for sub 3hr athletes that I coach 1:1. You should currently be able to manage training runs of up to 20km and a current weekly volume of around 40km.
EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:
GPS watch with Heart Rate.
