Amby Burfoot’s Do-It-Yourself Marathon Plan provides all the completeness, detail, gradual build-up, and scientific foundation of other marathon-training plans costing $30 to $100 and more. Your 16-week plan will include Long Runs, Tempo Runs, Recovery Weeks, and Taper Weeks—all completely individualized to your ability and your preferred training schedule (ie, days and miles per week). No other marathon plan does more. No other similar plan costs less.Not only that, but every workout is personalized to your appropriate pace. You won’t run too slow or too fast. You’ll run at a pace that’s achievable, and also geared to maximize your fitness improvement.It will take you just 5-10 minutes to complete the 6 steps to your DIY Marathon Plan. You’ll need only pencil and lined paper, or Calendar, Word, or Excel if you choose to create a digital product.The DIY Marathon is appropriate for someone currently running as little as 3 times a week for a total of 6 miles, or for someone running 7 times and 70 miles. Of course, you get out of the Plan what you put into it.The DIY Marathon is particularly helpful for time-pressed runners. It takes you “from where you are to where you want to be.” Translation: The Plan allows you to continue your current running pattern—let’s say, 3 or 4 times a week. It doesn’t force you to run on additional days that are nearly impossible to work into your crowded schedule. Instead, it builds your running mile-by-mile on the days when you can run.The DIY Marathon plan is simple, effective, and high-value.
