My last 2 marathon builds, week by week, from first jog back to the finish line: a 2:09:59 debut in New York and a 2:04:35 in Boston 5 months later. Counted in weeks-to-race, not calendar dates, so they line up with your build whenever your race is.
Your race date minus today, in weeks. That number is your T-week. 9 weeks out means T-9.
Same week, either build. Miles, runs, long run. That's what the week looked like from inside.
Pick your tier below and every week recalculates to your percentage. Proven training that works, at a volume that works for you.

The next build in this archive is happening right now: Chicago, Oct 11. The Log drops every Monday. Members run their percentage.
Weeks are counted back from race day: T-0 is the 7 days ending on the finish line. Both charts share 1 scale so the builds compare honestly. Your tier scales the weekly miles and the long run. Run counts don't scale; that column just shows how I split each week up.
Pick the tier at or below your current weekly volume. Not medical advice, not a plan. It's a record of what 2 builds actually looked like. The down weeks are real and they're part of why the peaks worked.
