Our Sub Marathon training plan is over 16 weeks

You can decide if you want to do all 16 weeks or start at any point during the training plan, it's completely up to you.

Try our Sub Marathon plan.Congratulations on choosing your marathon plan. This plan is designed to help you be prepared to run that full distance.\n\nThe key to success here is mileage. The aim is to be standing on the startline, 42.2km ahead of you and not feel any stress about that at all. On that basis the priority for the next 16 weeks is to get those long runs in. As great as it would be to run religiously 4 times a week for 16 weeks, we all lead busy lives and it can't always be possible. Prioritise a few hours over the weekend to get out there and clock up the easy miles, along with a shorter easy run during the week. Supplement the long runs with the interval and tempo sessions. These will work on improving your VO2 max, and build strength in the legs, all with the aim of making race-day as comfortable as possible.
