“Road to Your 26.2 – Part 1” Peloton Marathon Training Program for Runners: Class List, Schedule, Overview, Badges & Description

The "Road to Your 26.2 - Part 1" (a Peloton marathon training plan & program) is the first of a 3-phase training program designed to help you run a marathon. Part 1 is 6 weeks, helping you begin to build your milage up. Note that on your long run days (Day 7), there isn't a dedicated run or class to go along with your long run. Take the warmup run noted to prep you for your long run that day. The longest run for Part 1 is 10 miles. You can find Part 2 here and Part 3 here.

Update - Peloton updated this program in July 2022. They replaced the strength for runner's classes for all weeks. They also swapped the Day 6 class (20 minute run) for all 6 weeks - adding some classes from coaches who weren't part of the program when it originally launched. The program below will list the new version, but, the old version is also listed as reference.
