My Forum

Hi all,

I'm new here and hoping for some coaching opinions on a training plan ive created.

I've attached a screenshot of the first 21 weeks. After the first 21 weeks I intend chaning runs from a small increase per training day to 3 short runs and 1 long run per week.

Does this plan appear to be realistic?

Ideally I'd like to work towards running a marathon in about 60 weeks time. I tried training plans last year whereby I run for time and gradually increase this but it did not work well for me. I am overweight hence the reason for starting off at such a short distance. The reason for 162 meter increments is because I believe it is an achieveable distance and hopefully it will allow me to maintain a 6mph speed until week 21.

Looking forward to peoples comments.

Thanks,

Wayne
