Endure 365 Running | 3:25 Marathon Training Plan

Follow this thorough heart rate training guide to run a sub 3:25 marathon! This plan consists of a daily and weekly breakdown of mileage, workout type, and phase of training all written by heart rate training coach and elite athlete, Arturs Bareikis.

If you're coming off a good base plan and are in good general shape, you should be running 30-45 miles per week without workouts. To break 3:25 in the marathon, you'll need to maintain a pace of 7:49 per mile (4:52/km).

Before starting the program, it’s beneficial to meet certain standards:

• You should be able to run a half marathon at your goal marathon pace of 7:49 per mile (4:52 per km).
• Ideally, you should have a faster half marathon time of at least 1:42:30

With a solid base plan and 12 weeks of this marathon program, you'll have a strong chance of breaking 3:25.

Remember to listen to your body and make adjustments as needed throughout the training. While perfection may be elusive, following a plan increases your chances of success compared to training solely by instinct.

Have confidence in yourself and in your training, and you'll achieve great things on your running journey.
