When you cross the finish line of your marathon you will have accomplished something very special.
Designed for Beginner runners who are looking to complete their first marathon event, the primary goal of this training plan is to prepare you to COMPLETE your Marathon.
Crafted by myself, Ray Boardman PGDipSportsMed, PGDipRehab, PGCertSc (Exercise Science), BSc (Anatomy), DipSportsStudies this plan encapsulates my passion for the sport, my experience from completing dozens of Half and Full Marathon distance events and my success coaching hundreds of runners & triathletes.
Starting 24 weeks before your event, this plan progresses through phases to build you to your peak performance. Each week contains three runs. You will build up to running 2 hrs in a single session. Although not necessary, I recommend using a heart rate monitor in conjunction with a GPS watch (such as a Garmin).
Prior to using this plan, you should be able to run non-stop for 40 minutes.
Purchase of this plan gives you access to my fortnightly coaching calls where you can ask me any training or racing related questions.
