This plan is perfect for you if:

You have completed a half-marathon or marathon before and are comfortable running multiple times a week.

You're looking to move beyond simply finishing and want to achieve a specific time goal or a significant personal best.

You want a holistic and structured plan that tells you not just what to do, but why you're doing it.
What You'll Get in Your 16-Week Plan:

Personalised Training Zones: The plan begins with a testing week, featuring a 30-minute time trial to precisely calculate your individual pace and heart rate zones. This ensures every run is performed at the right intensity for maximum results.

A Proven Phased Approach:
Base Building Phase: Safely increase your weekly mileage while developing your top-end fitness with VO2 max-focused intervals.

Marathon-Specific Phase: This is where we get race-ready. Your training will shift to longer threshold intervals and key long runs that incorporate marathon-pace efforts to build endurance and race-day confidence.

3-Week Taper: We'll intelligently reduce your training load to shed fatigue while keeping you sharp, guaranteeing you feel fresh and powerful on race day.

Integrated Strength & Conditioning: Build a stronger, more injury-resistant body with a 2-day per week strength program, split into:

General Strength & Hypertrophy: The first phase focuses on building a solid foundation with higher-rep exercises.

Maximal Strength & Power: The second phase transitions to heavier, lower-rep lifts and explosive movements to boost your running economy and power.

Expert Guidance: The plan includes follow-along video links for warm-ups and mobility routines, detailed workout instructions, and is based on the Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) scale to help you listen to your body.
