The marathon is a beast in and of itself, so make it easier to tackle the distance with a plan I specifically developed for running a fast marathon. The plan starts at 30 miles per week and peaks at 50 miles per week with 5 - 6 runs per week. Weekly workouts include interval training, track workouts, hill work, and workouts within long runs. I have indicated which days to complete strength training workouts and included 3 strength training plans that can be used. Tips on nutrition and hydration have also been included. (Note: Your plan will be uploaded to your calendar within 48 hours of purchasing the plan.)
Athlete should be consistently running about 30 miles per week and be comfortable doing a long run of 10 miles the first week.

Hi, I'm Michelle Baxter. I love running around the lakes of Minnesota, running after my two boys, and running competitively in anything from the mile to the marathon. I have been a run coach since 2005 and could not imagine doing anything else. I'm known as @therunnersplate on Instagram and love connecting with others and motivating followers to chase their big, dream running goals. It was my big goal to run a sub-3 hour marathon, and after working very hard for 8 years, having two kids, and enduring some bumps along the road, I ran a 2:58 at CIM (California International Marathon) in 2021.
