    What would be the optimal duration of each of these phases?

    Aerobic conditioning.

    Anaerobic conditioning.

    Aerobic capacity.

    Anaerobic capacity.

    This would be for a marathon. I have been running for two years and I have decided to train properly now. Looking for thoughts on this subject.

    For a marathon my guess:

    Aerobic conditioning: 6-8 months minimum

    Anaerobic conditioning: 2-3 weeks

    Aerobic capacity: 1-3 months

    Anaerobic capacity: 2-3 weeks
