PhasesPre-ConditioningThe Pre-Conditioning Phase is an important one
to get your body ready to train for the Marathon
distance. There is lots of jogging in this phase so
enjoy this pace and don't be tempted to speed
up, you will have plenty time later to train harder.
Getting FasterThe Getting Faster Phase uses a variety of speed
focused training sessions to boost your running
pace. These are first around 10km long and build
in length as the weeks go by. They will gradually
allow you to build speed for long distances.
Going FurtherDuring this phase you will continue the high pace
training done in the last phase but you'll extend
the distance that pace must be maintained for.
This phase will help to build your leg strength and
stamina.
Race simulationThis phase has practical training for the race. You
should try to complete the fast paced sessions
wearing the gear you intend to use on race day.
At this stage start thinking about how you want to
run your race. Prepare mentally.
Tapering & Race DayThe Tapering & Race Day Phase is all about
bringing your body into peak condition. Both the
mileage and intensity of training is reduced to
allow your body to recover and overcompensate.
Race pace training is added to keep your body
accustomed to the pace required on race day.
RecoveryHaving reached your goal, take the next 3 weeks
easy to let yourself recover. Take plenty of rest in
week 1 and then try Jogging and Comfortable
runs to ease back into running. Judge how fit you
feel with the faster paced runs at the end of this
phase. Then you're ready for the next challenge!
Training SessionsBuild-upStart to run at the first guideline
pace. When you are comfortable
increase your pace and maintain
it. Then increase your pace a
second time and maintain it.
Stay in control of your pace,
don't push too hard and end up
finishing slow.
ComfortableThis session has a guideline
pace, but if you feel it is too fast
just reduce the speed.
Comfortable running lets you
train without putting too much
strain on your body. If you are
out of breath, go slower.
EventRun your race at a consistent
pace from start to finish. Drink
enough water, you should not
feel thirsty. Eat some high-
energy food (e.g. gel or bar) to
keep your energy up. If it's warm
make sure to have some salt in
your food or drink.
FastThis is a fast paced run. If you
can't maintain the guideline
pace then reduce it but do make
sure to run above your comfort
level. You should be breathing a
little quicker and deeper than
usual.
JogRun at a jogging pace. You can
reduce it if it feels too fast. This
session will gently exercise the
muscles used for running. Try to
judge how fit you feel during this
session. If you have a faster run
coming up, then run the last
kilometer a little quicker.
PaceAim to run this session at the
guideline pace. If you feel the
pace is too high, then reduce it.
Maintaining the pace throughout
the session is more important
than the rate itself.
Race-paceRun this session at a controlled
pace. Don't run too fast or push
your body too far. Control your
effort and you will find it easier
to produce this level of effort on
race day.
RestRest is as much a part of your
training as running. It allows
your body to recuperate and
become stronger for your next
run. Rest increases the training
effect of active training sessions.
