Endure 365 Running | 3:35 Marathon Training Plan

Follow this thorough heart rate training guide to run a sub 3:35 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 3:35 in the marathon, you'll need to maintain a pace of 8:12 per mile (5:06/km).

Training Focus

Over the next 12 weeks, you'll focus on building strength, speed, and endurance. This comprehensive approach will give you the best chance of success on race day.

Starting Standards

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 8:12 per mile (5:06 per km).
• Ideally, you should have a faster half marathon time of at least 1:47:30

With a solid base plan and 12 weeks of this marathon program, you'll have a strong chance of breaking 3:35.

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.
