Olympian-Designed Training System for Advanced Runners Targeting 2:59:xx
Running a sub-3 hour marathon is one of the biggest achievements in distance running. It requires discipline, controlled intensity, high aerobic capacity, and a perfectly structured training cycle.
This Sub-3:00 marathon plan — designed by Olympic marathoner Ilya Tyapkin — combines intervals, threshold tempos, fartlek work, progression long runs, and structured recovery phases into a 16-week system made for advanced runners.
Built for runners training 5–6 days per week, the plan prepares you to confidently sustain ~4:16/km (6:52/mi) for 42.2 km — without burnout or guesswork.
