MARATHON TRAINING PLAN LEVEL 3 + STRENGTH PROGRAM

This product includes the running plan and the strength program.

RUNNING PLAN

This Level 3 Marathon Plan is designed for advanced runners who have been consistently training 4-5 days per week for at least 1-2 years, incorporating structured intensity sessions (speed work, tempo, threshold, and/or VO2 max training).

This plan is for you if:

✅ You are already comfortable running 4-5 days per week and managing higher training loads.

✅ You have experience with at least two high-intensity sessions per week and can handle both physical and mental demands of advanced training.

✅ You are familiar with heart rate-based training and can efficiently run at 60% of max HR for easy runs (meaning you are used to low-heart-rate training).

✅ You are looking for a challenging, high-level program that pushes you toward peak marathon performance.

✅ You should be able to run at 60% of max. This will be uncomfortable and you will question if this is doing something – however, this is key to transition into higher volume without injury.

This is the structure I follow myself, designed to maximize endurance, speed, and race-day execution while maintaining a balance of training intensity and recovery.

Who Should Consider a Different Plan?

❌ If you are wanting to run 4-5 days per week, the Level 2 marathon plan is a better fit.

❌ If you are wanting to run 3-4 days per week, the Level 1 marathon plan is a better fit.

❌ If you are wanting to run 6-7 days per week, the Level 4 marathon plan is a better fit.

If you’re ready for a structured, high-performance marathon plan, this program will help you break new barriers and reach your full potential 🚀
