There are now only seven weeks to go before the London Marathon. To follow the training plans below you should already be able to run / walk for around 14 miles. I hope last weeks training went well. There is still plenty of time left to get those miles in, so don't start panicking just yet. Good luck with your training.
Training plan for week commencing Sunday 14th March:
**Beginner
Sunday: Long slow run - 17 miles
Mid week Session 1: 2 miles easy pace then 10 x hill reps with jog recoveries
Mid week Session 2: Speed session (3 x 800m sprints with 30 sec recoveries)
Mid week Session 3: Cross Train (Swim / Bike / Gym)
**Intermediate
Sunday: Long slow run - 19 miles
Mid week Session 1: 4 miles easy pace then 12 x hill reps with jog recoveries

Marathon Tip of the Week - Stay Safe**
Always tell someone the route you are running
Always run facing towards traffic
Always carry a mobile phone with you
Wear reflective clothing when running in the dark
If running to music, don't have your music on too loud. Use just one earphone so you can hear traffic / people around you
Carry some money on you just in case you need it
If you're running another spring marathon (Paris or Brighton) the schedules can easily be adapted to suit your race. Just get in touch.
