Apologies if this has been asked many times before but I'm looking for a straightforward marathon training plan for c. 20-25 weeks. I've run marathons before but it's been a while and I've never really stuck to a plan. The target is the Disney World marathon in January so I have around 26 weeks to go - the aim is to enjoy the experience (I'm sure there will be lots of character stops) so time is irrelevant; I am a 5+ hour marathoner anyway but hopefully want to be around that time including any stops but also feel strong enough to really enjoy the day Any help appreciated, thank you |

Maybe a 10 week hm plan, followed by a 16 week marathon plan? Build the confidence early, then stretch yourself through the autumn. And if everything goes pear shaped early on you can still do the 16 marathon plan? |

Time on feet is important. I would make time for some long days in the hills hiking as well as running. I would also make sure you're running around 25-30 miles per week with a few long run of 16-18 miles towards the end of your training. This is based on nothing other than my plan to train for Manchester Marathon. |

ultrarunningltd.co.uk Or I think there's a 24-week plan in Advanced Marathoning (P&D); I'd be happy to send you my copy if you'd like it. |
