How to use it
Use Marathon training plan as an orientation page: identify the practical question, inspect the named source base, and follow the scope boundary to the related guide or official service.
The page keeps the main question, its evidence base and its limits together in one canonical place. That makes it useful as a quick orientation and avoids splitting a broad subject into shallow pages before each narrower answer has enough verified material of its own.
