This program is an accelerated 12 Week Advanced Competitive Marathon training plan eBook. Accelerated training plans are programs that are useful when you don't have enough time before your goal race or event to finish a more conventional running training program. These accelerated training plans include a lot of goal based running with more focus on high quality workouts and less on easy or recovery runs. Due to the more rapid advancement in both mileage and intensity, these accelerated running programs also include more complete rest days to allow for recovery between the harder training sessions.

Accelerated training plans aren't the most ideal training scenario because of the decreased training time, increased difficulty and slight risk of over training, but they do offer you an opportunity to reach your running goal with less than than optimal training time.

This 12 Week advanced competitive plan has the prerequisite of being able to complete a 12 mile run at an easy pace and the ability to perform high intensity lactate turn point training, speed training and hill workouts. Click here to view a sample training week.

Each of these accelerated training plans include detailed workouts and specific training paces designed to help you reach your running goal. All for less than the price of lunch. Don't settle for a generic program and don't pay an inflated cost. Similar competing programs cost as much as $40.00 or more. Some charge hundreds of dollars for lower quality programs! Money is tight in today's economy. We want quality training programs to be affordable for today's athletes. That's why we will always offer our effective and high quality programs at affordable and reasonable prices. You'll won't find quality programs for lower prices than at Running Planet.

The training schedules in each accelerated training program are fully detailed and include a pace chart with the exact paces for each workout. There is no more guessing what your training pace should be. Each workout is designed specifically to help you reach your running goal. This is as close to customized coaching as you can get without paying the premium price of custom personal coaching.

A strength training program is included with all of the accelerated training eBooks. Strength training is an important part of any running training program. A proper strength training program will help you avoid injury, improve your running economy and form, increase your speed and help you gain running power. Proper race strategy is essential for competitive running success. Each training eBook contains race strategy tips that are appropriate for your running goal.
