This 20-week Boston Qualifier plan is designed to help runners confidently chase a sub-2:50 marathon — positioning you safely under the 2:55 men, 18–34 Boston Qualifying standard.
It’s best suited for experienced runners with a strong training background and consistent mileage. If you’ve been running at a high level and can comfortably run around a 17:30 5K or a 1:20 half marathon, this plan will help you take the next step toward your BQ.
The plan guides you through four purposeful phases:
Base Building: Reinforces aerobic strength and prepares your body for higher mileage.
Speed Building: Develops efficiency and strength through targeted workouts.
Marathon-Specific: Sharpens endurance, pacing, and fueling strategies for race day.
Taper: Lowers volume to ensure you arrive rested and ready to perform.
You’ll run six days per week, starting around 35 miles and peaking near 65. Each week includes detailed notes and pace ranges explaining how to execute every run — so you train smart, recover well, and hit your goal with confidence.
This plan blends structure, intensity, and strategy to help you reach your Boston dream — strong, prepared, and ready to crush sub-2:50.
