About This Program

Our Fall 2025 Training Programs are sponsored by New Balance. There will be swag, give-a-ways as well as New Balance representatives at several training runs. Additional items maybe available to purchase including a special New Balance FFRC race singlet!

Fleet Feet Pittsburgh Beginner Full Marathon program is designed for first-time marathon participants, or runners returning to the distance after extended time off. The program peaks at 35-40 miles a week with a long run of 20 miles, and does not include a dedicated speed session. Participants should currently be comfortable running at least 12-15 miles a week, with a long run of six miles. Use this plan to safely build your training distances, and cross the finish line of your first 26.2 mile race!
