Training for your first marathon should take about six months as you build up to longer and longer distances, and it requires sticking to a strict schedule and routine. Start training for a marathon early to prevent the chances of injury with advice from a competitive runner in this free video on running marathons.
Great advice-thank you. Training for my first marathon in October…did my
first half this past November. Long run today-needed this little boost of
confidence today LoL. :(
6 months is unnecessary when u already run 3 to 5 times a week, even if
it’s only 3 -5 miles daily, 3 months is enough
Do you have to finish first place to get that medal
GREAT suggestions… I have just done a 1/2 marathon and took 10 months to
train for it as I had never jogged before and I’m 56 y.o., and it went
extremely well (no injuries) and I loved running the 1/2 marathon. Now I’m
training for the full marathon in Montreal scheduled for September 2015, so
it will take me a year to increase very gradually my endurance level to run
the 26.2 miles marathon.
Let’s be honest you search this because you want to run the New York City
Marathon 2015 Like!!
anyone wishing to run 100 miles a month should contact me, we have a
hundred mile club on Nike+ and we do that on monthly basis. add me on
Nike+, search for “Prej I” and add me
I’m hoping to attend a marathon in 3 years time ( when I’m 18 ) and I’m
hoping to get to the point where I’m doing 100 miles a month
Great advice Beth!! 🙂
NYC Marathon 2014!!!
You’re killing my dream, Beth.
Amazing Video and i love the end! So charming 🙂
have no plans dont do it safely just run there you go my advice
I agree that starting out with 2 mile races is better… not to mention
safer for people who have never ran any kind of race before. The length of
the race should be increased only with experience.
Anyone can do a marathon, it’s not that hard it’s actually easy. Want to
challenge yourself, take up ski mountaineering!
ha canadians…
@tobiosnmakky I don’t like treadmills but I’ve been running more often
since I posted that comment 😛
stupid question but… what’s a good way of making sure i run everyday?
because i’m lazy.
The question is… Why did you watch it in the first place if you werent
even going to run? Common sense.
She’s right, it is the best feeling in the world.
Swim 750m three times a week! It did wonders for me. Helps you stretch out
your legs and is a great way to vary your workout!
6months?? Ain’t nobody got time for that!
This was a really helpful find when looking around for info on my first big
run. Nice information condensed into one place!
