Boston Marathon Training Plan - Performance

About this plan

This plan is built for Boston Marathon, start to finish. It is shaped around the full 26.2 mile marathon, running 18 weeks at a lean 5.9 hours a week, so you know exactly what you are signing up for.

Three weeks up, ease back, repeat: that rhythm is what makes the fitness stick. Intensity is rationed rather than sprayed around, every target reads off your own threshold pace and heart rate, and the plan gives your endurance, your pace and the durability to hold it late on the attention each one needs.

Held to week after week, it is designed to take a real chunk out of your previous time on the day you race Boston Marathon.
