Training for the Valencia Marathon (Trinidad Alfonso)

GarminWahooPolarHammerheadIntervals.icu
A flat, honest 42km
Typical sessions
42.195km with barely 50m of climbing: the same muscles fire the same way the whole distance, so muscular fatigue and glycogen are the limiters, not hills.
No terrain to hide a fade. Your result is a direct readout of pacing and fuelling discipline.
The wall at 30 to 35km still comes, and it arrives on legs that have made the exact same movement for 30km.
Open, exposed boulevards can carry a coastal breeze, with no hill to break a headwind.
What your weeks look like
Typical sessions
The marathon-pace long run: 28 to 35km with 15 to 20km locked at goal pace on a flat route, fuelled exactly as on race day.
Long tempo of 40 to 60 minutes continuous at marathon pace to build flat-course durability.
Threshold intervals such as 3 to 4 x 3km to build the engine that makes goal pace feel easy.
A midweek medium-long run of 14 to 18km, plus a steady-pace drill holding effort into a headwind.
