I invented y own 8 week plan, but I was running a fair amount at that point.
It’s very simple but you need 9/10 weeks ideally.
I called it “8 big runs”
Each week you run a 5k a 10k and a big run the first week is a half marathon.Each week you add a little bit to the big run until in the 8th week where you should be doing a little over 30km
Then you taper for two weeks just doing the 5k and 10k (if you really Feel the need)
It’s not scientific but it’s easy to remember and it works for me

Any recommendations for a beginner marathon training plan, ideally 8 weeks* but I’d take any recommendations and just start it at 8 weeks out.
*I know I know 8 weeks to train for a marathon sounds bonkers, but I’m not starting from scratch. I’m 1 week out from an IM 70.3 that I’m fairly well prepared for, and have done a couple of 24km runs in training, so the base is solid. Might have an entry to Dublin City marathon which gives me 1 week off post IM, 1 low volume week to get the legs moving again, and then 8 weeks to focus on running.
