The ultimate 10-week marathon training program

I have a little more than 10 weeks before the Toronto Waterfront Marathon. I'm coming off an injury, but since it wasn't a running-related overuse injury, I don't need to be tentative in my training. It's full speed ahead.

My mileage goals are as follows:

Week 10: 60 miles
Week 9: 65 miles
Week 8: 70 miles
Week 7: 70 miles
Week 6: 75 miles
Week 5: 80 miles
Week 4: 75 miles
Week 3: 50 miles
Week 2: 35 miles
Week 1: 10 miles, plus MARATHON

I'll be running six days per week, with two speed sessions and a long run that builds up to 27 miles of joggling.

What pace will you do most of your "junk" miles? How about the long runs?

Michal The Joggler Kapral said...

My easy runs will be at about 7:00 per mile, long run in 6:30 per mile, 1-mile repeats at about 5:10, 800m repeats in 2:25-2:30.

How do you figure out your pace while joggling? I can do it easy enough on a treadmill but when I run outside I never get a chance to look at my watch.

Those are my non-joggling paces. My joggling times are a bit slower. I have a 1-mile square measured in my neighbourhood, and I sometimes use this to test out my joggling pace by starting my watch, joggling a mile, then stopping it at the end.

The Salt Lake City Marathon was great because they had big clocks every mile - I didn't even wear a watch.
