Are you ready for a marathon plan?
The best marathon plan is not the hardest one you can download. It is the plan your current fitness, schedule, and recovery can actually absorb.
Check plan readiness
Answer a few practical questions. The result helps you choose between base building, a conservative plan, or a full marathon block.
A plan should match the runner you are today, not the runner you hope to become by week three.

If pain is changing your stride, solve that before adding a race-specific build.
