# The Marathon Training week

URL: https://gocutline.com/templates/marathon-training-week/

A marathon training week built around a job: easy runs on Tuesday and Thursday, a workout on Wednesday, a long run on Sunday, strength twice a week, mobility daily, and rest on Monday and Friday.

## Why it works
- **Most runs are easy;** one workout carries the intensity.
- **The long run on Sunday** has the time it needs.
- **Strength twice a week** protects against injury.

## Make it yours
- Follow your coach's or plan's distances; this is a time template, not a training prescription.
- Increase the long run gradually and plan a down week every third or fourth week.

## Questions

**Is this a training plan?**
It is a way to fit training into your week. Use distances and paces from a coach or an established plan, and check with a doctor if you have health conditions.
