  • How to Train for the Boston Marathon

    By Patrick McCrann

    For Active.com

    A good Boston cycle will have three, maybe four long runs depending on how much time you have to train and your ability to recover.

    A typical three-long-run schedule might be 18 miles, 20 miles, 22 miles, with each of these efforts separated by a shorter run with more tempo effort (approximately 12 to 14 miles).

    A more advanced four-long-run schedule mile alternate 18 miles, 20 miles, 18 miles, 22 miles. In this case, the advanced athlete can pair the 18/20 and 18/22 weekends, separating these two week blocks with just one shorter weekend run as outlined above.
