This program is a 12 week training plan created by Joey Berriatua, to help athletes looking to run under 3:05:00 in their upcoming marathon race. Joey has extensive experience in coaching marathon athletes and helping them reach their goals. Through a calculated plan of gradually working athletes to and then under their goal race pace over the span of 16 weeks has helped multiple of Joey's private athletes run 10+ minute PRs.

Athletes interested in this program should have previous race experience, as well as a general base building fitness going into the training (e.g. easy running 4 or so days a week with some workouts for 3-6 weeks).

Breakdown of the program:

The mileage will increase throughout the 1st 9 weeks of the program. Athletes start on the slower side of paces – the goal is sub 3:05:00, but we'll start off at 3:20:00 marathon pace for your training, and then progressively get faster over the weeks, ending at 3:00:00 paces. This is designed specifically to keep you healthy and consistent early on while we're building mileage – critical training for when we actually start hitting goal paces! Assigned pace ranges will be in a note every Monday as a reference.
