=============================================================
IMPORTANT: This app will train you to complete a full 26.2 (42k) distance using a RUN/WALK ratio
=============================================================
This proven 20 week plan is designed for true beginner/novice runners who want to train for a marathon, but have very little running experience. This run/walk program is perfect for newcomers, as the walk breaks help mentally break up the race into segments, so you can focus on one section at a time. These breaks help make the marathon less grueling, as well as reduces the overall impact and risk of injury.
But don’t think that just because walking is involved that your time will be slower, or that you're accomplishing less. Many veteran runners have posted personal best times after switching to this run walk method! By using a ratio of running and walking, you can manage your fatigue which gives you the muscle resource and mental confidence to handle the later parts of the race.
Slowly build strength and stamina and the blend of walking and running together reduces the overall impact and risk of injury. By the end of the program, you will be READY for your 26.2 (42k) race!
