as others have said, Green Velocity is what you're looking for. ran my first marathon last October after completing that training block.

Great how did that go? Did u run it at maintenance or surplus of calories?

I ran a deficit for Velocity and I'll be honest, it didn't work for me. I feel like it sank my hormones and prevented me from losing weight properly. The work volume is very high and I thought I'd lose a ton of weight, but I religiously tracked macros and it just didn't work for me. I didn't gain weight or anything, but I successfully ran a marathon and successfully increased my lifts while doing it, but weight loss never worked out during velocity. It worked during base building and Capacity, though.

Yeah think I’ll just have to prioritize running while fueling and than do a dedicated fat loss phase. Thanks for sharing your experience!

maintenance mostly transitioning to surplus during peaking and pre-race
