The 3 training phases

1. Basic training

This phase is all about stability, routine, and kilometers. The aim is to achieve a basic level of fitness, running about 25 – 30 km per week, getting used to running steadily and increasing your physical capacity.

2. Specific training

In the specific training phase you need to run at least 30-40 kilometers per week in order to get used to the longer distances. At the same time you should add shorter intervals, speed runs, and long slow distance runs to your training plan.

3. Tapering

About 3 weeks before race day, you should run your longest run during your marathon training plan. From here, you must begin tapering in order to recover properly and be fit for race day.
