Okay gang, let’s talk marathon training plans.
I finished my first marathon in about 4:22 and my second in about 4:32. I’m not disappointed in either time, but I think I have it in me to get closer to 4:00.
For both races, I’ve relied on a “first time” marathon guide that was all about finishing upright. Not speed work. No intervals. Just distance. Now that I have a couple marathons under my belt, I’d like to upgrade my training a bit.
I’m curious what plans you all use, what they entail, cost, etc. My next marathon is planned for late April and I plan to start training in January.
Thanks in advance!
