A typical marathon training program is 20 weeks. And all of them say something like “this training plan is best suited for those who have been running 3-4 times per week for 30-50 minutes for at least 6 months.”
This is good and it’s bad. My marathon is on October 9, this is February. It’s good because technically my training need not begin until the end of May. It’s bad because there is no way I can build 6 months of endurance in 3 months.
My first goal was to do a 5k (3.1 miles) and I did that around Thanksgiving and thanks to the Holiday’s and wonderful Michigan weather I didn’t run much the rest of the year. But at least I’ve maintained. I am thinking my next goal should be a 10k (6.2 miles).
