Are you gearing up for a spring marathon, but haven't had a chance to start training yet? Don't worry, it's not too late! With an 8-week marathon training plan, you can still improve your fitness and reach the finish line. This article will guide you through a comprehensive training program that incorporates long runs, tempo runs, fartleks, and speed workouts to help you achieve your goal.

Before we dive into the plan, it's essential to understand that this training program is designed for runners who have some experience with speed workouts and are comfortable doing a workout like 6 x 800m or a steady run of 10–12 miles without getting unduly beat up. If you're new to running or haven't been active in a while, it's crucial to start with a more gradual approach to avoid injury.

Our 8-week marathon training plan is a condensed version of our standard 12- to 14-week program. While we would typically recommend a longer training period for optimal results, this plan can still help you improve your aerobic fitness, strength, and speed in just two months. To get the most out of this plan, make sure you've been active and running regularly since the fall.

The plan includes a mix of workouts to help you build endurance, increase your lactate threshold, and work on your running efficiency. You'll have days dedicated to long runs, tempo runs, fartleks, and speed workouts. We recommend downloading our marathon training plan and following it closely to ensure you're getting the most out of your training.
