Edinburgh Marathon Training Plan - Finish

About this plan

Targeting Edinburgh Marathon? This is the plan for it. 17 weeks, a lean 6 hours a week, every one of them built around the full 26.2 mile marathon rather than adapted from a template.

The load builds in three-week blocks and then backs off, so the work actually lands instead of burying you. The hard sessions are dosed the way the research says fitness is built, never piled on as junk volume, and your endurance, your pace and the durability to hold it late on all get their turn.

Follow it properly and the aim is clear: get you across the line in good shape at Edinburgh Marathon.
