It’s so easy to accidentally run too fast on days meant for recovery. But easy runs are what allow you to actually absorb the harder work.
Keeping your easy days genuinely easy helps improve aerobic endurance and keeps your legs fresh for key sessions like long runs and tempo day.
💡 With personalised pacing insights, your adidas Manchester Marathon plan keeps your easy days enjoyable so you can hit your harder sessions with quality.
Runners can be tempted to ramp up mileage quickly, but sustainable progress is what gets you to the finish line strong.
Stick to the golden rule: increase mileage by no more than 10% weekly.
Gradual growth builds resilience and long-run strength.
💡Your personalised plan takes your current fitness into account, removing the guesswork and ensuring your mileage builds safely towards your goal.
Running a marathon is about more than just miles. Strength work helps keep your body stable, resilient and ready for the miles ahead.
Runna seamlessly includes simple, runner-specific strength sessions to help you stay injury-free and feel strong from the first mile to the finish line.
Marathon training is hard, Runna makes it easy! Your plan supports you from your first training run, all the way to Manchester’s iconic finish.
