Plan Description
Ready to take your marathon game to the next level — gritty hills, smart pacing, full confidence?
This plan is built for experienced runners who already have marathon finishes under their belt and a steady base of 40–50 miles per week.
Now, it's time to dial in specificity, sharpen your edge, and level up.
Grounded in the Rogue pillars of purpose, progression, and presence, you'll run smarter, race stronger, and own every mile — hills included.
What to Expect:
*Structured long runs blending marathon effort and hill-focused strength
*Aerobic strength workouts built for undulating terrain (Richmond-style rollers and similar)
*Speed and stride work to keep turnover sharp without sacrificing endurance
*Progression to peak mileage (~58 miles per week) with strategic cutbacks for recovery
*Mindset cues and focus points integrated into key sessions
*Optional tune-up race or race-pace simulation long run
This Plan is Perfect For Athletes Who:
* Maintains a strong base (40–50 MPW) and have consistent training history
* Know how to execute structured workouts independently
* Want to feel strong — not wrecked — on race day hills
* Are ready to train with more intention, specificity, and ownership
Let’s chase that next-level effort —
Smooth. Strong. Steady. Fierce.
