What Sets Our Plans Apart
SportCoaching’s New York City Marathon Training Plan is built for the five-borough challenge: long bridges, cambered avenues, packed crowds, and those late Central Park rollers. It isn’t a template — it’s a personalised build shaped around your fitness, lifestyle, and the tactical demands of race day.
- Customised to your ability and schedule: We start with your current fitness, race history, and weekly availability so training fits your real life — not the other way around.
- Course-specific preparation: Targeted sessions rehearse bridge pacing (ease on the climb, control on the descent), running tangents through Brooklyn/Queens, the quiet grind over Queensboro, the First Avenue surge, Bronx focus, and finishing strength for Central Park’s undulations.
- 1-hour consultation with Coach Graeme: Align goals, analyse recent data, and identify limiters (endurance, threshold, durability) so your program builds speed and resilience where it matters most.
- Delivered within 24 hours: After your consult, your fully personalised NYC Marathon Plan arrives within one business day so you can begin training immediately.
