Marathon Training Planner | 16 & 18 Week Plans | Printable PDF & Google Sheets / Excel Log

Train for 26.2 with a plan you can actually follow.

What's inside:

• 18-week plan (more build-up time) and 16-week plan (for runners already at 20+ miles a week)
• Peak long run of 20 miles, cutback weeks every 3-4 weeks and a 3-week taper
• Weekly structure: easy runs, one quality day (strides, tempo, 800m intervals, marathon-pace work), long run, recovery run
• Printable PDF: how-to page, race-goal page, both plans and 18 weeks of daily log pages
• Spreadsheet (Excel or Google Sheets): enter your race date and goal time, and every week gets its date. The log pulls in each day's planned workout, calculates your pace, and the weekly summary shows planned vs actual miles.

Distances are in miles (multiply by 1.61 for km). Instant download. General training guidance, not medical advice; check with a doctor before starting a new training plan.
