Training Plans
Marathon & Half Marathon Training Plans
These are the exact training plans I’ve used (and refined) to prepare for multiple Boston-qualifying marathons. There's a beginnger version (70 peak miles) and advanced versions (80 and 90 peak miles) for runners aiming for BQ times.
Each plan is available as both:
- An Excel Sheet for editing and tracking your runs.
- A PDF for easy printing and reference.
- A Training Pace Calculator for optimal training.
