Training for a full marathon looks different for everyone. Some runners are building on their running experience, while others are stepping up to this distance for the first time and are ready to take on a bigger challenge with the guidance to get there. It takes more than running the miles. It takes support, structure and a community that keeps showing up. That’s exactly what you’ll find with Fleet Feet training programs.

Fleet Feet’s Full Marathon Training Program brings runners together around a shared goal and a clear path forward. For 16 weeks, you’ll follow a progressive training plan designed to help you build endurance, strength and the consistency it takes to train for a full marathon. You’ll come together for two coached, in-person group workouts each week, with a structured plan to guide your running on the days in between.

As your mileage builds, you’ll learn how to manage longer efforts, recover well and stay consistent through each phase of training. Your training goes beyond the run itself. You’ll get guidance for warm-ups and cool-downs, strength work to build durability and help reduce injury risk, and mobility and cross-training to keep your body balanced. You’ll also get expert tips on gear, nutrition, recovery and more.

To help you train at the right level, this program offers two training paths:

Level 1 is designed for runners who have an established routine averaging around 25 miles per week, feel comfortable running 10-12 miles at a time and are ready to train for their first full marathon with the right structure and support.

Level 2 is designed for runners who have an established routine averaging around 35 miles or more per week, feel comfortable with higher mileage and are looking to build on a previous marathon experience.
