Moses Mosop – Marathon

About the plan

16-week plan preparing Moses Mosop for his marathon debut at Boston 2011, where he finished 2nd in the extraordinary time of 2:03:06 — at the time the fastest marathon debut in history. Mosop had a 10K PR of 26:49 and a predicted marathon pace of 2:05:51 (4:48/mi = 100%). The plan shows how Canova prepares a track runner for the marathon, with an emphasis on fast extensive long runs, special blocks combining volume and quality, and progressive specific-endurance work. The plan was interrupted by travel and a funeral, requiring adaptations, but Mosop exceeded all expectations.
