Higdon's Marathon Training

Higdon's Marathon Training is a structured approach to prepare runners for completing a marathon. Developed by coach Jeff Higdon, it features a range of plans catering to various experience levels, from beginners to advanced runners. Each plan typically spans from 12 to 18 weeks and includes a mix of easy runs, long runs, speed work, and rest days. The emphasis is on gradually increasing mileage to build endurance while minimizing injury risk. Higdon also encourages cross-training and listening to one’s body, promoting a balanced and sustainable preparation for race day.
