Help - 7 weeks Marathon training plan

G'morning,

I decided to step down from IMAZ this year due to to much workload and stress. To do at least something later this fall I'm thinking on signing up for a local marathon race.

I have 7 weeks. Last two weeks I took rest, other than that i'm coming from IM training.
Any last minute advise?

I was trying to look back to the 1:2:3 thing but couldnt really find it.

Thanks for help,
Have a great start in the week!

How much mileage have you run the past 6 months? 2 years? Goal?
7 weeks out would normally be about when you start your max mileage, so I would do moderate mileage this week, then high mileage for 4 weeks with nothing faster than hm pace. For the long runs I would sprinkle in som work at mp and build towards 4x5k at gmp or something similar.

Hi Oscaro,

I have an average of 600miles per year and run this accordingly (400 YTD) in 2018.
Goal is 4 hours. My HM times are 1:52-1:55 typically.
I’m not a good runner compared to my bike and swim

Okay then I would say most important is just get your mileage up. You can't expect a good result when your weekly mileage is half the distance you are going to race. If you only have 7 weeks I would just run as much as your legs can handle, but be weary of how your body feels, no idea risking an injury. Workouts etc wont be as important as just getting some miles in this short time.
