Training plans from 5K to the marathon
Week-by-week plans for a first 5K, 10K, half marathon and marathon, plus goal plans such as a sub-2-hour half and a sub-4-hour marathon. Each plan says who it is for and how to adjust it.
Pace charts and split calculators
Marathon, half marathon and 10K pace charts in minutes per mile and per kilometer, and a splits calculator for even or negative splits. Every number is calculated, and every chart prints on one page.
