Marathon Prep:
If you are preparing for a marathon, the program you intend to follow will probably be 12 to 16 weeks. This assumes you are already fit to train. So allow a few weeks of build up in order to prepare yourself.
Ensure you have a minimum of 4 weeks basic endurance in the bank. 4 to 5 sessions per week of steady running will get you ready. Set out as follows:
Session 1: 30 to 40 minutes running as you feel but not too fast.
Session 2: Quality Session, Run 5 x 4 minutes at current 10k pace off 2 minutes jog.
Session 3: same as session 1.
Session 4: Light tempo - 10 minutes easy 15 minutes tempo 10 minutes easy.
Session 5: Long steady run - between 8 to 12 miles build this up week on week if not currently running the distance.
warm up and cool down as required.
Group training is fast training,
