How to Run a Sub-3 Hour Marathon (Step-by-Step Training Plan)

Learn how to run a sub-3-hour marathon with this step-by-step training plan. Follow these tips and techniques to achieve your marathon goals!

In this video, I’ll walk you through the exact training approach I use with runners aiming for that elusive sub-3 marathon. Whether you're stuck at 3:15, 3:05, or you're just getting serious about running faster, this video will give you the blueprint to level up.

You'll learn:
1. Why sub-3 is more than just pace – and how to train smart, not just hard
2. The 3-phase progression every sub-3 plan should include
3. How to build PBs in the 10K and half marathon on the way to your sub-3
4. The long run structure that works (and the one that burns runners out)
5. Key workouts, paces, recovery strategies, and mindset tips for marathon success

This isn’t just about hammering marathon pace—it’s about building speed, strength, and specific race-day fitness the smart way.

If you’ve ever dreamt of running a sub-3, this is your roadmap.

• Sub-3 marathon pacing and what it actually takes (4:15/km or 6:52/mile)
• Why your 10K and half marathon PBs matter more than you think
• The exact structure of a sub-3 training block: speed → strength → specificity
• Real talk on recovery, periodisation, and avoiding overtraining
• What type of long runs actually get you marathon fit
