Sydney Marathon - 16 Week Program
WHO IS THIS PLAN FOR?
Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced runner options. It’s a 16-week program designed specifically for the TCS Sydney Marathon.
HOW THE PLAN WORKS:
Over 16 weeks you will choose how many and which days of the week you can run, building the km’s per week safely up to peak weeks. Your long run will build progressively to 35 – 38km, preparing your body and mind for everything race day throws at you.
The plan also includes guidance on strength training (two sessions per week), mobility work (three to four times per week) and recovery strategies, including stretching, foam rolling and massage, getting to the start line healthy is just as important as the training itself.
