262 Marathon plan
Train Like an Olympian. Run Your Best Marathon.
Whether you're chasing your first finish or eyeing a personal best, the fastest way to improve is by following a smart, structured plan — one built on elite experience.
This training plan is based on the exact methods I used to run 2:09:48, compete in the Tokyo Olympic Marathon, and run sub-2:12 five times.
And now, you can use the same framework — including 2 full training blocks, gym work, pacing guidance, and year-round structure.
💼 What’s Inside the 262 Training Plan:
-
Olympian-Level Structure: Built on principles I used to run 2:09 and compete at the Olympics.
-
2 Full Marathon Build-Ups: Real-world training logs from Houston 2020 (2:11:52) and Rotterdam (2:14:30).
-
Elite Gym Program: My complete strength plan from the Rotterdam build-up.
-
Yearly Planner Template: Plan and track your training with the same tools I use.
-
Customisable Pacing: Targeting sub-3 hours, but adaptable for any goal — with paces in both km and miles.
-
Zone-Based Intensity: Scientifically structured sessions using pace and effort zones for smarter recovery and gains.
-
Insights from the Front Line: Real-world lessons from over a decade of racing at the highest level.
"Love the variety of workouts, flexibility of options, and easy transition to shape the plan to your own goal! Big fan!"
This isn’t a generic template — it’s a complete training system grounded in real Olympic experience. If you want structure, insight, and faster results, the 262 plan is your next step.

I personally test every item that gets sold on the website, and if I wouldn't train or race in the products, then it won't be sold on the website. I ran 2.09 for a marathon, and had budgets like $10'000 each year for running kit. trust when I say, I've test my fair share of equipment.
Made to perform when it matters most, we offer quality that you can count on. Like I said on the homepage, if you're unhappy, please just email (politely) and we will help things get sorted. Possibly go to my Instragram - Lionscull, or Youtube channel - Scullion262 - You'll understand, I'm not trying to con people or have unhappy customers.
As you will see below, 262 has started to support athletes chasing their dreams, and each purchase contributes towards the company, but also fellow athletes. Running has become incredibly difficult to get sponsorship etc. and so my goal is to support as many up and coming stars with their dreams as I can. So thank you.
