Beginners Marathon Training Program

For everybody, running the first marathon is a daunting task, but when done something to be immensely proud of. This program is designed to get you there and make the experience fun.

A 26 week training program designed by two-time Australia Olympian, Chris Wardlaw. Chris competed in the 1976 and 1980 Olympics at 10,000mtrs and Marathon respectively and has personal bests of 2:11:55, 28:15.6 , and 13:34.2 at Marathon, 10,000m and 5,000m respectively. 

Participants are expected to commit up to 5 hours per week of mixed distance and pace sessions with a bit of cross training to help recovery. Building gradually, you can decide from where you start the program if you feel the first weeks are too easy or you can do the whole thing. Either way we think you will enjoy the experience.
