In the first week of the program you will do all three tests. These are outlined on my Training Zone Calculators page. The Adaptive Zone Marathon Plan uses 3 fitness tests to calibrate your training zones and monitor your fitness improvements. The fitness tests are used to define your specific heart rate and pace zones at that particular point in time. The Adaptive Zone Marathon Training Plan deals with these problems through regular fitness testing. Also, heart rate responses will vary between runners. The problem is that we all have different resting and maximum heart rates. This is a nice idea as it gauges the workouts by the intensity experienced by your body (as measured by your heart rate). Some plans get around this by giving you heart rate zone targets. Meaning that a workout at a given pace will provide a different physiological stimulus later in the program. The problem here is that your fitness should increase during the course of the training. They often ask you for your goal race time and then prescribe the pace of workouts based on that. One of the problems with most marathon training plans is that the intensity is not calibrated specifically for you. – Here is an online calendar of Half-Marathon races.20-Weeks | Intermediate Dynamic Training Plan – When selecting your first Half-Marathon, choose an event that does not have a strict cut-off on time. – Use the pace calculator below to help you adjust your paces as you progress.
