About this plan

I’ve designed this for anyone who has recently run a race and is looking to maintain some structure in their training while keeping their running fun before heading into a new dedicated training block for your next goal race.

There are three separate blocks of training that last four weeks each, so you can train for 4 weeks, 8 weeks or 12 weeks using the full plan.

Pace chart included so you know exactly how fast your runs should be.

Full glossary of terms so you'll always know what to do.

Loads of tips each week so you can learn along the way and stay motivated!

Plan Details / Who is this for?

The smallest week is 36 miles / 58km.

The biggest week is 42 miles / 68km.

There are five runs each week.

The plan has both miles and kilometres.

12 weeks in length, with three separate '4 week' blocks, so you can easily do 4, 8 or 12 weeks of training.

Suited to someone with current 5k fitness of between 16-21 minutes.

Optional Strength Routine Add On

The 'Plan + Strength Routine' option includes the full plan plus 3 integrated "at home" strength routines with warm up and cool down exercises.

Beginner friendly and easy to follow.

I feel I am in between two training plans, which one should I go for?

Each plan gives the number of days of training per week, so we’d advise going for the one which best fits in with your current lifestyle and commitments.

Also consider the number of miles or km's for the first week and peak week and compare that figure to where you are currently.

The best success will come from following a plan that is achievable given your lifestyle and current fitness.

Exactly what I was looking for

Easy to follow, family-friendly, and keeps me motivated after the long training for my last Marathon. Thank you so much.

Great in between

I've been doing this plan since about 4 weeks ago while targetting sub 5 hour for my next marathon. So far so great, my body responded well to the menu and feel strong for my next week marathon.

Awesome plan

Love the variety

New Plan!

Well written, clear and easy to follow! Thank you Ben and Company! Happy Holidays!!

Super helpful plan!
Keeping you top up without too much volume.

Excellent plan

Absolutely love this plan! Just what I needed to help with a bit of motivation and guidance when not in a dedicated race plan phase. The plan is very well explained, laid out and has everything you need to get it done!
Unfortunately, I have only been able to use it for a couple of weeks so far as I've an annoying niggling injury (was present before I started the plan) and I need to take care of it.
Can't wait to get back to the plan soon!
Thanks Ben!

In-Between Races - L4

Fantastic

The In Between plan has worked really well for me in between my races and has helped me to keep focussed. I can highly recommend them. Well done Ben, keep up the great work 👍🏻

Awesome

I have used the Half Marathon L4 and Marathon L3 plans this year and found that they helped me achieve my goals. The In Between L4 plan looks great and will help me stay motivated by introducing some great variation over the winter months, before I start to look at next year’s target races. I can’t recommend the plans enough. You can look at what your overall aims are, taking into account your current ability and have the confidence that you can and will continue to improve. A big thank you from me!!

New cap 😊

A Bobby dazzler of a cap. Nice and airy for my sweaty noodle. Stylish practical design to boot.

Absolutely my favourite outfit

I feel like "profi" wearing it and i look sooo cool 😎 just love it ! My husband made me a great surprise of buying it for my birthday present.
I really love the quality and for my 174cm hight size S is ok. Colour is exactly the same as at the picture .Delivery to Poland was without any problems. Thank you so much Ben&Sarah!

Best running top

Bought the red one for the London marathon the fit was perfect without doubt the best running top I have owned so decided to order this one asap. They are top quality and would highly recommend this to any runner out there getting it done 😁👍

Love it

Entire plan is well structured and detailed. Just need to follow the same and I am sure, results will come out as per expectation. I have not started workouts as per the plan because there is no HM events in coming days at my location, next big will be in October 25 but I was excited to buy and wanted to understand the entire plan. My habit is to mapping first in my head and then execute workouts. Seems I am ready in my mind just need to follow before events, But I am pretty happy and looks like I will be able to follow the plan as well.. Rest is depends on health.. But for plan 5 Star.

Comfortable Shirt👍👍

I am enjoying this distance shirt, very high quality and it is very comfortable and nice for running my easy workouts in. Also, a very nice shirt to wear casually. Furthermore, those distances are all my favourites to race. Highly recommend this shirt!!🙂👍👍

Great plan!!

Thank you Ben! The plan was super easy to follow and got me in amazing shape to run a PB. I followed the 3:30 plan and ended up running a 3:23 with a negative split! Last year I ran a 3:49. This plan was amazing! I will defiantly be using one of his plans for next race.
100 percent recommend!

Great Hat!

Right out of the box, this hat fits great and looks even better. Ran my first race with it yesterday and it felt like I wasn't wearing anything at all and kept the sweat out of my face. After a quick rinse it drys clean with no sweat stains. Highly recommended!

The “Plan” for success!

I purchased a marathon plan to prep for my October Marathon. I had time to use the plan’s last two weeks and tapered preparing for my spring half marathon. I achieved a PR and took exactly two minutes off of my previous record! This plan takes the guess work out and forces rest days, which I need! Well done, Ben!

L4 plan - Manchester Marathon

I loved the plan! I’ve had two failed attempts at sub 3, blowing up at 18 both times. The plan just worked for me and I only needed to move a few of the days to fit around being a busy mum and working . I felt strong through out the 15 weeks and didn’t have my usual exhaustion/over training feeling. Unfortunately it was ridiculously hot on Marathon day and I didn’t hit my goal but I did get a PB taking over 4 minutes of my previous times coming in at 3.06 and I can’t be disappointed with that considering the heat. I felt good and unlike my previous marathons didn’t have to walk, a solid 26.2 miles achieved on the day and I know that if the weather had been on my side that I would have been so much closer to my goal. Going to use the plan for another marathon in October. Thanks guys!
