BREAK 4:45 IN THE MARATHON: 16 Week Training Plan

This training plan is designed to help you get to the finish line of a marathon in under 4 hours and 45 minutes!

NEW* Kilometers Version of the training plan is also included!

Finishing a marathon under a certain time limit is a challenge with a kick in the pants!

It takes a lot of hard work and training to get a marathon under your belt but for many runners they can't seem to stop there. They want to take it one step further and see just how fast they actually can run the marathon.

I learned though that training for a marathon with a specific time goal in mind takes a lot of hard work!

It actually requires training very differently.

Same sport (the marathon), same distance (26.2 miles) but different goals (to finish vs. to finish in under 4.75 hours) requires a very different training technique.

It comes down to consistency, quality runs, and the art of pacing. All of which you will achieve with this BREAK 4:45 in the MARATHON Training Plan!
