Over the last 1 to 2 years, you used to run consistently, and now you want to safely get back into it. You are interested in doing a competition or other running event and want to prepare your body for the training stress of a fully-fledged training plan. This Training Plan provides a natural progression that will enable a safe and sure preparation to tackle more advanced Training Plans.

Over the course of 10 weeks, we'll get you where you want to be: a confident runner who is capable of running consistently and injury-free. By the end of the program, you will be able to do a 90-minute long run and incorporate a weekly interval speed training session. You will supplement this with easy runs or easy biking to enhance your oxidative capacity without increasing physical stress too much.
Most importantly: by the end of the plan, you are able to start a specific marathon preparation phase: https://www.trainingpeaks.com/training-plans/running/marathon/tp-493771/marathon-pr-preparation-12-weeks-advanced

Customize it to align with your personal goals and life, stay attuned to your body's signals, and seek advice from a coach or healthcare professional when navigating new challenges. It is strongly advised to seek medical clearance from your doctor before beginning any training program.
