Plan Description
Ready to Go the Distance? Introducing the 30-Week Base2Race Marathon Plan
If you're serious about conquering the marathon, you need a plan that covers all the bases—literally. My 30-Week Base2Race Marathon Plan is a comprehensive program that takes you from building a solid foundation to fine-tuning your race-day strategy.
🔬 The Science
- Marathons are the ultimate test of endurance, speed, and mental fortitude. This plan is rooted in cutting-edge exercise science, focusing on aerobic development, muscular endurance, and metabolic efficiency.
🏁 Two-Phase Approach
This isn't a one-size-fits-all plan. It's a two-phase program that starts with a 17-week base-building phase followed by an 13-week race-specific phase. This ensures you're not just fit, but marathon fit.
🎯 Race-Specific Workouts
Get ready for targeted sessions that simulate marathon conditions. These workouts are designed to give you a clear understanding of what you can achieve on race day, all while working within your specific training zones.
📈 The Journey
- Running a marathon is a transformative experience that requires a well-rounded approach. This plan is your ultimate guide, designed to progressively build your fitness so that come race day, you're not just finishing—you're thriving.
Ready to go the full 26.2 miles the smart way? Let's get you started with this 30-Week Base2Race Marathon Plan.
Onward and upward,
Dr. Will 🏃♂️🔬
