Running · 24 weeks · Beginner
Your first marathon, done right — built for the finish, not the wall.
Twenty-four weeks built for the runner finishing their first marathon. A long, patient aerobic base before any race-pace work, gradual long-run progressions you can actually absorb, one quality session a week (never two — yet), and a fueling and pacing plan so race day feels like the reward, not the gauntlet.
Who it's for
Runners with a base of 3–4 runs a week tackling their first marathon and wanting to finish strong, not survive.
