Races/United States
Training plan for the Austin Marathon
Sunday, 14 February 2027 in Austin, United States. That is 16 weeks away.
When a build would have to start
Squall plans a block of a length that suits the distance, then works backwards from race day. For this one:
Half — a 14-week build, 4 runs a week
Starts the week of 2 November 2026 — 2 weeks in hand.
Marathon — a 18-week build, 5 runs a week
Not enough room left for the full build.
Too close? The next one
The organiser runs this the second Sunday in February, which puts the 2028 race on Sunday, 13 February 2028. That date is not announced yet, so check it before planning to it — but a Marathon build for it would start the week of 4 October 2027.
On the day
Distances: Half, Marathon. Entries, course and timings are youraustinmarathon.com’s. They decide when entries open and close, and whether the race runs at all — Squall sells nothing here and takes nothing from them.
The date here is the one the organiser published, rechecked every 1 hour against the list. Confirm it on their site before you enter.
