Training Plan: White Nights Marathon
Preparing for a marathon requires 16–20 weeks of structured training. This plan is specifically designed for the White Nights Marathon's flat course in St. Petersburg.
🎯 Training Considerations for This Race
Speed-Friendly Course
The flat profile (only 85m gain) makes this ideal for a personal best. Include tempo runs and race-pace sessions.
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 St. Petersburg
Arrive at least 2 days early to adjust. St. Petersburg is in the europe timezone — factor in jet lag if traveling far.
