Plan Description
This is a 36 week long plan to written to train for Big Sur Full Marathon or any hilly marathon race. Depending on base long run level and how far out your goal race is, could start further into the plan but recommend at least 16-20 weeks to train for the full marathon. This plan has gradual long run increase, and later incorporates some goal marathon pace during long runs, as well as speed/tempo/hill work one day per week. It is ok to substitute some of the easy or recovery run days with cross training or walking or additional rest if needed.
