    My first marathon!

    Having done Race for Life in 2022 I got the running bug. Since then i've done a few races and 3 half marathons without any real training or structure.
    I knew a marathon was the next step, and from watching Ben and Sarah on You Tube I knew I needed some more guidance on how to do it properly. Ben's plan sounded ideal, and really affordable! I have been following Marathon Level 2 Improver ahead of Windermere Marathon in May. The plan is so simple to follow, and for the first time I'm actually doing strength work too. I'm learning to enjoy easy runs, and to take them easy.
    I'm nervous of the harder weeks to come but also really excited! Let's go!!

    Fantastic plan

    Have completed my first marathon using the plan. My expectation was realistic during the race (even 3.59 would make my happy) but was able to clock 3.50. The road was quite tough (lot of hilly routes and brides) and not to mention we were sharing the road with HM runners for the last 12KM.

    I am sure I will use another plan for improvement!

    Thanks a lot Ben - all the best.

    Incredible and fun plans

    Valencia 2023 was my first marathon, after running previous year the half. As I had almost a year to train, I did the Level 1 and then Level 2 of Ben Parkes training plans and they worked great.
    I ended up doing 3:42 in the marathon and I felt I could have pushed more, didn't suffer at all because I've put the right training needed thanks to this plans.
    Now I've signed up for Valencia 2024 and I've already purchased Level 3 to get started, Let's Get it done :)

    Plan looks great

    Just downloaded my plan and first impressions are it looks great.

    Really simple to follow with a concise glossary.

    Pace charts are easy to understand and I love the fact it’s offered in miles and km so no time wasted converting distances.

    The weekly notes explain precisely where you are in your training and why you are doing the sessions, giving you confidence in the whole process.

    The proof will come next April when I run.

    Really looking forward to getting it done.

    Unreal training plan.

    I bought this plan after starting my running journey in September 2022 and finding Ben's channel and loving the content really got me into the running spirit. I have been training in the gym for over 10 years but almost never spent any of that time running so for me it was like starting from scratch. Not long into this journey I felt I needed to challenge myself and set a solid goal for where I wanted to get to and a marathon is a clear and challenging goal and so about 18 weeks out from a local marathon I picked up Ben's L2 plan for a goal to run my first marathon in under 4:30, I was amazed at the structure of this plan and how well it's laid out allowing for the recovery taper at the end. It's so easy to follow I never felt overwhelmed and with the pace chart makes setting up all the workouts ahead of time so easy. On the day I ended up laying down a 4:18:11 with a cold and feeling a bit down but I was stoked with my effort and I had a great time and was able to enjoy the marathon and the vibe and I owe it all to this plan and the training it provided. I can't recommend this highly enough for anyone who plans on doing a marathon I had such a great experience I cant wait for the next marathon to smash that time down some more. Thanks Ben this plan rocks!

    Great training plan!

    I ran the 2023 London Marathon, which was my first. Ben's training plan was very clear and helped me build up to a 61k week and a 32k long run (I'd never done more than 35k a week or a 22k long run before).

    A mixture of different runs and the inclusion of strength and conditioning help me achieved my goal of running in under 4 hours.

    Excellent plan which got me a sub-4 PB

    I used the Level 2 Improver plan for my third marathon. It was slightly less mileage than the previous plans I’d used but much more targeted and structured. I liked the mix of paces and how the long runs combined easy and marathon pace. Plus at 4 days a week it was easier to fit in with other things going on in my life. I finished my race in 3:53:29 and felt strong all the way through, managing to stick to a consistent pace all the way without stopping to walk. The plan really worked for me.

    Can’t recommend enough!

    I used the improver plan to train for my second marathon, and the schedule and improvements made were so substantial, I ended up completing my first 50k ultra, never mind the marathon. Great plan, great results, can’t recommend enough!

    Marathon training plan

    After using the beginner plan for my first marathon I decided to use the next one up for marathon number 2. The plan is easy to follow and enjoyable. Ben never lets you down

    Thank you so much for making this guide so affordable, understandable and achievable for my first marathon, a big goal of mine. I loved it and have already purchased my next guide for another running challenge.
