Is this plan for you?Plan Overview: Stepping up to the marathon distance doesn't have to be overwhelming. This 12-week program is scientifically designed for first-timers or runners returning to the sport who want to arrive at the start line healthy, confident, and injury-free. Unlike generic plans that only focus on mileage, we integrate specific strength work to build a body capable of handling 42.2km. You will train efficiently with 4-5 runs per week, ensuring you have ample recovery time while building the endurance engine you need to finish strong.
