This plan aims at building the cardiovascular fitness necessary to complete a marathon in good shape. Not much speedwork included, except for the Tempo sessions on Wednesdays. It starts at 26 miles (42km) per week, and peaks at 50 miles (80kms). The goal is to be able to run towards the end those 50 miles every two weeks comfortably. There are a few races scheduled on Sundays, which should be used as a fitness test to see how you’re doing, and adjust your training paces. The 10K two weeks before the marathon should give you a good estimate on your marathon time. I’ll be publishing the pace tables soon.
