About this Plan

The Advanced Marathon Plan is built for experienced runners who are targeting a 3:30–3:45 marathon and want to perform at a consistently higher level through specific, structured training.

It’s designed for athletes over 40 with an established aerobic base who can handle more demanding sessions and higher weekly mileage.

Each week integrates easy aerobic runs, threshold and interval workouts, and long runs with marathon-pace and alternation segments to build endurance, speed, and fatigue resistance.

The plan follows a progressive structure that balances stress and recovery, allowing you to develop stronger aerobic efficiency, pace discipline, and race-day readiness.

Choosing the Right Plan

If you’re in between two plans, choose the one that best aligns with your current lifestyle, schedule, and level of commitment.

Look closely at the number of training days each week and the weekly mileage to select the plan that you can realistically manage while maintaining consistency.

At the same time, don’t be afraid to choose the plan that challenges you slightly, especially if you’ve completed a marathon before and want to progress beyond your previous performance.

** If you’re already running a higher weekly mileage than the plan’s starting point, you can safely add those extra miles as easy or recovery runs on any of the easy days of the week.
