Summary
Beginning to Intermediate Marathoners looking for a strong race
This 10 week plan is for the beginner to intermediate runner looking to place in the 3:30-3:40 finish time. The plan is based on a steady build and is all about getting adequate rest. If you are looking for mega mileage and no recovery time, my plan is not for you.
This plan is for someone with a family and a 40-hour job looking to add a good time to their resume.
You should be already running 15-20 miles per week prior to starting this plan.
