What Sets Our Plans Apart
SportCoaching’s London Marathon Training Plan is built specifically for London’s fast, flat course and big-race logistics. It’s not a template — it’s a plan shaped around your fitness, schedule, and the unique demands of race day in the UK’s biggest marathon.
- Personalised to your life and fitness: We start with your current ability, training history, and weekly availability.
- Course-aware structure: London is flat but crowded with frequent turns. Your training includes steady-state efforts, turn-exit pickups, and crowd-aware pacing so you can hold speed through Cutty Sark, Tower Bridge, and Canary Wharf.
- 1-hour consultation with Coach Graeme: Review race goals, recent data, and limiter analysis (endurance, threshold, durability) so your plan targets what will move the needle most.
- Delivered within 24 hours: After your consult, your fully personalised London Marathon Plan arrives within one business day so you can start immediately.
The result: a London-specific build that balances speed with durability, rehearses race-day logistics, and gives you clear, confident pacing to run your best on one of the world’s fastest courses.
