The new and improved Sub 2-Hour 45-Minutes Marathon Training Plan is designed for runners who want to run inside 2:45 in their next marathon. If you have run close to 2:45 before or ran around 1:18-1:24 for the half marathon distance then this plan is perfect for you.

This plan is aimed at runners who can already run up to 14-16-miles during week 1 of the training schedule. If you’re not yet here I would suggest building up to this distance prior to starting the plan.

In purchasing this plan you're also helping to support Jonny Mellor, an international distance runner based in the UK to fund and support his own career within the sport as well as giving him the platform to compete with some of the worlds best runners.

The following programme is devised from proven research and experience of what some of the worlds leading athletes and coaches have used and also from personal experience, knowing what has worked and what has impaired or halted my progression as an athlete. I am a current Great Britain International Athlete and have successfully coached a series of athletes via JM Coaching of varying ages and abilities. I have personal bests of 62:23 for half marathon set at New York in 2017 and 2:12:57 for the marathon ran at Berlin in 2017 finishing 10th in both events.

My coaching influences come from previous personal coaches and my current lead coach Steve Vernon a former British National Cross-Country Champion and International Mountain Runner. I also draw information from research gained from some of the world’s top coaches; Alberto Salazar (Coach to Mo Farah, Galen Rupp and the Oregon Project) Renato Canova (Italian coach to several Kenyan athletes) and George Gandy (former coach to Jon Brown).

To limit over training and ensuring the athlete is suitably prepared I like to split marathon build up into four phases:

Phase 1: Base
Slow paced continuous runs
Hills
Progression runs

Phase 2: Transition
Race specific sessions
Hills/Intervals
Tempo Runs

Phase 3: Race specific work
Race specific work
Tempo Runs

Phase 4: Taper
Target pace work
Easy Running

As well as marathon pace specific workouts I implement 5 and 10km training sessions into your programme to ensure you are keeping in touch with the speed work. Thus allowing you to run marathon pace much easier during the race.
