What's inside
Plan it. Run it. Log it.
- A full 26-week plan. Four phases — Base, Build, Peak, Taper — with built-in cutback weeks so you absorb the training instead of breaking down.
- Progression at a glance. Weekly mileage for every goal band from 3:00 to 6:00 on one page. Find your column and follow it down.
- Effort-based pacing. The Training Pyramid and Effort Guide explain easy runs, long runs, tempo and speed — and how hard each one should feel.
- Weekly log pages. Each day's session, distance, run time, pace, weather and notes, plus a weekly summary.
- Race day, planned. The taper, pacing and the negative split, fueling and hydration, contingencies and a race checklist.
- Trackers that keep you honest. Shoe mileage, long-run fuel plan, niggle and injury tracker, 26-week consistency tracker and weekly distance record.
Who it's for
Marathoners from first-timers to experienced runners who want a clear 26-week structure and one place to record every run on the way to race day.
