Valencia Marathon Training Plan

About this plan

The whole plan points at one thing: Valencia Marathon. Across 17 weeks and roughly 7 hours a week, it builds you toward the full 26.2 mile marathon with nothing in there that does not earn its place.

Every target is set as a percentage of your own threshold pace and heart rate, so it fits you and not some average athlete. The weeks climb and then ease in three-week blocks, and across them your endurance, your pace and the durability to hold it late on are trained in balance.

Follow it as written and you will arrive at Valencia Marathon genuinely ready, not just hopeful.
