This 15-week training plan is designed specifically for athletes who have run sub-3 hour marathons or on the verge of breaking 3-hours. All running workouts in this plan are based on templates created by Dr. Jack Daniels, named “World’s Best Running Coach” by Runner’s World Mag. After a V.O2 Coach reviews your training and racing history they will choose the best template and then personalize the workouts/training paces leading up to your goal race. Workouts each week consist of three Quality Sessions (Long Run + 2 speed sessions) will include appropriate time spent at each VDOT training pace (Easy, Threshold, Interval, Repetition, etc.) to maximize your potential in the marathon. This plan is also customized based on your preferred running days of the week and days off.
