Marathon Training
First and foremost, this program IS NOT for beginners. You should have at least trained for events that require a degree of medium to high mileage training volume (mileage) during the week, 30+ miles.
This is the first of four 4 week training cycles. This program will be suitable for 10K, half marathon, and marathon training. Strength training is provided as the need for strength can help ward off injuries, improve speed and help with overcoming the environment, such as wind and hills, and other uncontrollable circumstances.
Definitions of various workout elements are explained in the exercise descriptions.
LSD - Long Slow Distance should not exceed 5-8 more minutes than the longest run of the week.
All track work is important, however, you are not necessarily trying for P.R.'s every time.
