The Beginner Marathon program is designed for first-time marathon participants, or runners returning to the distance after extended time off. The program peaks at 30 miles a week with a long run of 20 miles. Participants should currently be comfortable running at least 12-15 miles a week, with a long run of 6 miles. Use this plan to safely build your endurance, and cross the finish line of your first 26.2 mile race!
