12 Week Marathon Plan (RPE Based)
12 Week Marathon Plan (RPE Based)
Length
12 Weeks
Plan Description
This is a 12 week marathon training plan created by 2:11 marathoner Johannes Motschmann.
This plan is perfect for ambitious marathoners who use the RPE Scale for the workouts and go by perceived effort.
You will follow a plan of 3 "Up weeks", followed by a "Down week" (recovery week). The highest mileage you will hit will be just under 100 miles, while the recovery weeks will be much easier with about 55 miles a week. You will average 75 miles a week over the course of three months. The longest run will be 24 miles.
This plan is best for runners who only get to train once a day and want to focus on a couple quality sessions per week. If you have more time, I will offer more plans with the option running twice a day.
