Training Plans:
Where should we start?
By now there are a number of
great resources on the web
and in books for training for 5K, 10K,
Half- and Full-marathon races.
Let's add ours to the mix:
Marathon Training Plan
The following 2 plans were geared toward training for the 2008 Marine
Corps Marathon. Several members of SRC trained and ran the race this
year (our results). These
plans can be used for any marathon:
First-Timer
Marathon Plan
Time-Goal
Marathon Plan
Half Marathon Training Plan
Our resident coach Alex Bronzini has adapted a 10 week training plan,
geared towards preparing for the MORE Half Marathon many of our members
ran in April 2008. The plan can be adapted to any half marathon of
course;
the same principles and timelines apply.
Alex's
10-week Half-Marathon Program
This program can be adapted easily to runners at any
level of performance, from slow to medium to fast pace. The basic
program stays the same, you simply adjust your running pace to match the
pace that you are most comfortable with and which matches your race time
goal (if any).
