Marathon Running Plan

This is a 14-week running plan for a marathon.

It is intended for an intermediate level runner. It was a plan that helped me finish the race well without getting injured. It is not intended to be a plan for high performance, but just to have fun in completing a marathon. I usually have this plan as a base and build a new one from it, depending on what I wish to do next.

Note that I am not a professional trainer. It is highly advised that you first do a check-up to make sure your health is ok for it, as well as joining a running club.
