80/20 Marathon – Level 2

About the plan

18-week plan based on the 80/20 methodology for runners who want to improve their marathon time with a moderate-to-high training volume. This program significantly increases the volume compared with Level 1, with 7 sessions per week and long runs of up to 3:20. The peak phase combines Tempo Runs and Cruise Intervals to raise the anaerobic threshold with compound long runs (Speed Play and Fast Finish) that build marathon-specific endurance. The tune-up in week 15 prepares body and mind for the effort of race day.
