6 Month Marathon Training Plan: Why Longer Is Better

#marathontips #6monthmarathontrainingplan #marathonersShow more

A 6 month marathon training plan is definitely a good idea if you want to run well over the 26.2 mile distance. Our plans and courses are 4 months in length. That being said, I do recommend 8 weeks of easy, base mileage first. So, you can build that strong foundation before you begin a 16 week marathon training plan.

The marathon takes a long-term mindset for success. Do you want to run the marathon in a specific time? If so, we certainly hav various training programs and courses that are available to help set you up for success. Remember, the longer you train the mode focus needs to be placed on not peaking too soon. So, you want to run very easy base miles first.

Then, we move into introducing the athlete to faster track and road sessions. Everything is based on moderation and periodization first. I do not rush athletes into jumping into workouts that they are not prepared for. So, if you want a marathon training plan 16 weeks is the optimal time to prepare for one sufficiently.
