This 16-week walk/run marathon training plan is ideal for beginner to intermediate runners in their 50s and beyond who want to complete a marathon safely, efficiently, and without injury, using Jeff Galloway’s proven Run–Walk–Run method.
Whether you're returning to fitness, tackling your first marathon, or simply want to finish strong without the pressure of speed, this plan is built around low-impact progression, smart pacing, and consistent recovery. It prioritizes injury prevention, joint health, and cardiovascular endurance through manageable run–walk intervals and progressive long runs.
