Hey Runners,
Who likes to party? Who likes to jam out while running? Anyone like to throw their hands in the air like they just don't care? I do! Well that is what this plan will do for you!
This Beginner Marathon Training Plan is a plan that is made for the newbie that is ready to show everyone that they can do it too!. You will have 4 run days, one cross train day, and 2 rest days each week.
This plan will give you workouts that not only build your endurance but also your speed. You will do interval training, tempo runs, hills, fartleks, easy runs, and long runs.
Try follow the plan if you can but know there is some flexibility. When training for a marathon, dealing with life's stress is one of the biggest obstacles. Know that you can delay a workout for a day or swap Saturday and Sunday but always remember to have an off day or easy day following a workout or long run.
When cross training, it is recommended to do something that is non-impact. Examples are swimming, cycling, aqua jogging, yoga, elliptical, etc. There is a recommended time for cross training on this plan without specifics workouts for that day. It is meant to be a recovery day or a day with less stress on your body. This is meant to be done at a conversational pace.
Please see key for pacing chart and other key notes.
Oh and don't forget to Rock On and always, GET AFTER IT!
