Paris Marathon Training Plan

About this plan

This plan is built for Paris Marathon, start to finish. It is shaped around the full 26.2 mile marathon, running 17 weeks at a solid 7 hours a week, so you know exactly what you are signing up for.

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 as written and you will arrive at Paris Marathon genuinely ready, not just hopeful.
