Mark J 🇳🇿 Mar 2024 9:28pm, 14 Mar 2024 1,932 posts	0 Mark J 🇳🇿 Superb Mark what training plan you been doing I'm following a 15 week L3 Intermediate plan with strength routines from Ben Parkes. I used his L4 advanced for my half marathon PB's last year, so thought I'd go again for the marathon. Not 100% sure but I believe its following a similar philosophy to the P/D ones.
