What are some advanced training plans for athletes?

Advanced training plans often include periodization, strength training, and sport-specific drills. What sport are you focusing on?

I'm focusing on marathon running. What should my plan look like?

For marathon running, a typical plan includes long runs, tempo runs, and interval training. How many weeks do you have until the marathon?

I have about 16 weeks. Can you suggest a weekly schedule?

Sure! A sample week could include: 1 long run, 1 tempo run, 1 interval session, and 3 easy runs. Would you like more details on each?

Yes, please provide details on the long run and tempo run.

The long run should be at a comfortable pace, gradually increasing distance each week. The tempo run should be at a challenging pace, around 80-90% of your max effort for 20-40 minutes.
