This is a 20 week marathon plan that consists off the following Microcycles:
-6 weeks base training
-6 weeks building phase
-4 week intensity phase
-3 week taper phase
This program is designed to help your body adapt to a new (faster) marathon pace with the asumption that the body is able to handle the volume of marathon training. Not recommended for first time marathoners, but also not for full time professional athletes.
My name is Jaco Ebertsohn.
I am an Biokineticist and running coach from Bloemfontein, South Africa. I have my own practice where I do rehabilitation of orthopaedic injuries as well as strength and conditioning of athletes.
I have been in the running circles for the past 26 years and love competing in endurance events. The Comrades ultra-marathon is my favourite event, but also enjoy marathons and Triathlons.
Running is my passion, runners are my people.
