Training Plan: Northern Lights Marathon
Preparing for a marathon requires 16–20 weeks of structured training. This plan is specifically designed for the Northern Lights Marathon's rolling course in Tromsø.
🎯 Training Considerations for This Race
Cold Weather Strategy
Expect temperatures around 3°C. Layer up at the start (disposable outer layers work well). Warm up thoroughly before the gun.
Rain Likely
There's a 65% chance of rain on race day. Train in wet conditions. Use body glide to prevent chafing and consider a light hat with brim.
Racing in Tromsø
Arrive at least 2 days early to adjust. Tromsø is in the europe timezone — factor in jet lag if traveling far.
