What Vienna throws at you

Typical sessions

42.195km at pace on flat, fast closed roads, where even splits win and hot starts unravel

The wall at ~30km, no different on a flat course than a hilly one

60 to 90g of carbs per hour for 3-plus hours, a fuelling job you have to rehearse

Danube wind on the long, exposed river stretches, best handled by tucking in behind others

What your weeks look like

Typical sessions

The marathon-pace long run: 28 to 35km with 15 to 20km at goal pace, fuelled exactly as on race day

Progressive, negative-split long runs finishing the last 8 to 10km at pace or faster

Long tempo of 40 to 60 minutes continuous at marathon pace, controlled not hard

Threshold intervals (3 to 4 x 3km) plus a mid-week 14 to 18km medium-long run for volume

Not a generic schedule
