Marathon Training Plans

Marathon training plans are structured schedules designed to prepare runners to complete a 26.2-mile race safely and effectively. They typically span several months and include a mix of runs varying in distance and intensity—such as easy runs, long runs, speed workouts, and rest days—to build endurance, strength, and speed gradually. The plan helps prevent injury by balancing workload and recovery, while progressively increasing mileage to ensure the body adapts comfortably. Tailored to individual fitness levels, these plans aim to boost confidence and performance, making marathon participation achievable and enjoyable.
