A Note from Coach Justin: I'm excited to guide you through a proven progression so that you arrive at the starting line ready to perform. The plan is structured into distinct blocks — speed, strength, specific endurance, and volume, followed by a final unloading phase — each phase builds on the last, preparing you for the unique demands of the NYC Marathon.
This isn’t random training. Each phase has a purpose. Early on, you’ll develop speed and efficiency. From there, we layer in strength to handle the course’s rolling terrain. As we move closer to race day, the focus shifts to specific endurance and volume, preparing you for the late-race fatigue that defines this course. Finally, we unload training so you arrive fresh, sharp, and ready to execute.
This training works best for engaged, open-minded athletes who are ready to stop guessing and follow a structured process. Many athletes come in doing too much, mistaking exhaustion for progress. This program takes a different approach — one built on intentional effort, proper recovery, and consistent execution.
The NYC Marathon demands more than fitness alone. From the Verrazzano Bridge to Central Park, success comes from the right blend of speed, strength, and endurance, paired with smart pacing and discipline. This program is designed to prepare you for all of it — physically and mentally. The goal is simple: arrive at the start line healthy, confident, and ready to perform when it matters most.
