Intro: This covers 83 Days Until I Race The FASTEST Marathon In The World! from Ben Is Running. If you’re building toward a marathon, it’s worth watching in full—here’s a breakdown you can start using immediately.

Key Points:

• Ben’s 12 weeks out from his marathon and holding the intensity back while dealing with hamstring tendonopathy, keeping most runs easy.
• His training mix: 20 km easy runs, 30 km progression runs, 12 km tempo work at roughly 3:35 km pace, and 5 km repeats at his marathon pace (about 3:25 km).
• Mobility prep shows up before every run via GOWOD, plus dedicated single-leg hamstring work to support the injury management.
• Cycling fills the volume gap on days when running intensity needs to stay low.

Workout Example:

1. Warm-up: 4 km easy running plus 5–10 minutes of movement prep from GOWOD.
2. Main set: 2 × 5 km at marathon pace (around 3:25 min/km). Keep the effort controlled; slip in a 1 km recovery jog between reps if you need it.
3. Cool-down: 2 km easy plus a hamstring stretch. Tip: Dial in the pace to your own marathon best time using the Pacing app, and swap these 5 km blocks for 3 km or 8 km repeats if that suits your current shape better.

Closing Note: Run this workout, adapt the paces and distances to where you’re at, and log it in Pacing to see the progress stack up. Lean into the mobility work and easy mileage—you’ll feel the payoff when race day comes. 🚀
