Page overview<\/span><\/p>\n

What this plan is designed to change<\/p>\n

A marathon plan should increase durability without making the runner too tired to absorb training. The goal is not simply to reach a large mileage number. The 16-week structure balances easy volume, threshold work, long runs, recovery and selected race-pace sessions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
