It seems that so many end up training in as little as 3 months. <BR/>Personally I want to train for 6-9 months, so that I can build up slower.SuperDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08685513856624802455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3530167721870562043.post-11403884711516267552008-11-11T13:42:00.000-08:002008-11-11T13:42:00.000-08:00Tanya,Here is suggestion for your consideration. S...Tanya,<BR/><BR/>Here is suggestion for your consideration. Start now on your marathon training. You'll have extra time to repeat weeks if you need to, and you'll do the 20 miler way before your race. That means that you can then do weekly 14-17 mile long runs for quite a while, with excursion up to 20, 21, or 22 miles every once in a while. By doing this, you can have a good base of long distance when you run the marathon. The half-marathon in August will be one of your weekly long runs. The thing you don't want to do is wait until 17 or so weeks before the race to begin your training, and thus do the race without being used to the long distance. Having a whole year to train for long distance is very cool, and your body will appreciate it! Marathon and half marathon training is mostly just logging lots of miles with small advances in distance each week or two.Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02879512265582253237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3530167721870562043.post-27116913461756252132008-11-11T12:27:00.000-08:002008-11-11T12:27:00.000-08:00Yay for finding a good plan.
