This pack contains 3 training plans for triathletes who want to run a marathon. The plans incorporate swim and bike workouts as part of the program. 
 
The emphasis is on completing the run workouts, however swim and bike are included to add additional aerobic training to the plan, as well as assist in recovery and injury prevention. Hence, the swim and bike are also maintained. After completion of your marathon, and returning to a more traditional triathlon plan, you will be able to prepare for the triathlon season from an excellent fitness level.
