General Outline: Rest 2x a week, Cross Train 1x a week, 2 runs that stay short all training, 1 mid week run that increases in length all week, 1 weekend long run.
Target Athlete: Very beginner athlete, just started running potentially. Plan 1: Hal Higdon Novice 1 (Claim – his most popular plan) Not training for a marathon? These same pitfalls tend to hold for the shorter race versions of these plans as well. This week in the blog I look at some of the most popular marathon training plans out there, look at the thought process behind them, what their pitfalls are, and how as an athlete you could possibly adjust the plan to fit you (or at least the things to look out for). Spring is coming and so people are signing up for races, website traffic for downloading plans is UP. Did you find success because of the plan? Or in spite of the plan? To those who have used pre-made plans, and found success. The common denominator, they were using a pre-made, generic plan. The wonderful world of training plans for races is a minefield of injuries and disappointing races just waiting for optimistic “just signed up for a race” runners.Īs a coach, I have most of my athletes coming to me from having the following experiences with pre-made plans: repeated injuries from the training they were doing, or thinking that they can do better, they just don’t know how to do it.
