Training Plan: Quito Marathon
Preparing for a marathon requires 16–20 weeks of structured training. This plan is specifically designed for the Quito Marathon's hilly course in Quito.
🎯 Training Considerations for This Race
Hill Training Required
With 850m of elevation gain, incorporate hill repeats 1-2x per week. Focus on both uphill power and controlled downhill running.
Rain Likely
There's a 45% 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 Quito
Arrive at least 2 days early to adjust. Quito is in the south america timezone — factor in jet lag if traveling far.
