The Beginner Marathon Training Plan I’m Following | Marathon Build Ep. 2

I’m Zeke—a husband, dad, full-time shift worker, and regular guy training for his first marathon. In Episode 2 of Marathon Build, I’m breaking down the beginner marathon training plan I’m following: the free 16-week BPN marathon plan. I’ll explain why I chose it, how my 6:05 mile from Episode 1 set my training paces, and what I’m already learning as a beginner. So far, the biggest challenges have been keeping my easy runs truly easy, staying in Zone 2, and dealing with blisters. I’m currently signed up as an alternate for the St. George Marathon, so I’m not officially in yet—but I’m training like I am. This series is about what marathon training actually looks like for someone with work, family, shift work, and a regular life.
