Preparing for a marathon requires 16–20 weeks of structured training. This plan is specifically designed for the Brussels Marathon's flat course in Brussels.
Training Considerations for This Race
Speed-Friendly Course
The flat profile (only 145m gain) makes this ideal for a personal best. Include tempo runs and race-pace sessions.
Cold Weather Strategy
Expect temperatures around 7°C. Layer up at the start (disposable outer layers work well). Warm up thoroughly before the gun.
Rain Likely
There's a 61% 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 Brussels
Arrive at least 2 days early to adjust. Brussels is in the europe timezone — factor in jet lag if traveling far.
