That is a serious goal to cut 5 minutes of your previous marathon. Very interesting to hear how you're planning to do it, never having been a runner myself I know very little about the training process. It sounds like an intense 8 weeks coming up for you, but it will all be worth it when you're able to achieve that goal!

How much muscle weight are you planning on adding for the race?

Thanks man!

The weight and muscle part is the only aspect I am still a little in doubt off.
For sub 3 I wanted to both lose weight (-9 kg) and transform from the remaining weight some muscles. With 8 weeks to go that goal is unrealistic.

My goal right now will be in the first 4 weeks:

  • eat clean, loads of protein, carbs on the heavy trainingdays, small calory shortage
  • build muscle with 3x week additional training. 1x bodyweight, 1x heavy weighted, 1x sprint / strong interval.

Last 4 weeks,

  • eat clean, switch back to carbs, maintain weight (restore fuel)
  • strenght sessions will all be bodyweight, intervals will be shorter in distance.

My guess will be I will end at 84kg (-6 kg)
