INTERMEDIATE MARATHON PLAN


YOUR TRAINING STARTS NOW!!!! THIS SUNDAY MARKS 16 WEEKS UNTIL RACE DAY! YOU SHOULD BEGIN YOUR OFFICIAL MARATHON TRAINING ON JUNE 13!!!


Now onto training... I’ve posted a beginner’s plan and an experienced marathoner’s plan, and I’m sure a lot of you are thinking neither one seems quite right for you. Here is an intermediate plan. If you are a first timer and have some confidence in your running, and more time to commit, you could follow this plan as well. It is also great for someone with a few marathons under their belt, who has a goal in mind for Twin Cities, but doesn’t quite have enough time to follow the advanced plan from last week.


If any of you get Runner’s World magazine, there is an article in the July 2010 issue with training plans and tips based on your goal time. If you have a particular time in mind and want to know how to meet your goal check it out:

Next week: Endurance Runs

Happy running,

Genevieve
