About this Plan

The Podium Plus Marathon Plan is built for runners targeting a sub-3:10 marathon who already train at a high level and want to perform at their competitive best.

It’s designed for experienced athletes over 40 who have a solid aerobic foundation, strong recovery habits, and the discipline to handle high-quality and high-volume training.

Each week combines threshold, interval, and marathon-pace work with strategic aerobic sessions and long runs that extend up to 36 km (22 mi) — including extended marathon-pace and alternation segments.

The structure blends performance-specific intensity with carefully managed recovery to build fatigue resistance, efficiency, and sustained pace control under race conditions.

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.
