Strongly recommended Advanced Training Schedule Pre-requisites:

  • Individual has been running consistently for at least three years (e.g., 3-4 runs/week, 25-40 miles/week)
  • Previously completed a 26.2 mile marathon
  • No chronic injury problems

    •  

    Wednesday Tempo Workout:

  • Easy 2 mile jog warm up
  • 2 x 2 mile pickup at 10 seconds faster per mile than target race pace, easy 1 mile jog in between pickups (e.g., If you’re shooting for a 7 minute pace on race day, your target 2-mi pickup time should be 13:40 +/- a sec or two – once again, aim for a very steady pace and avoid pace fluctuations – the focus is on consistency of splits) Weeks 10 – 13 you might try adding a third 2-mile pickup
  • Easy 2 mile jog warm down
