Marathon Running Training Program

So you are looking for a marathon running training program. Well good for you, you have stopped at the right place. Below I will talk about what needs to be in a program as well as I will give you a basic outline of a simple program. A plan for preparing to run marathons should simply be a routine that you follow everyday. Everyday you should be running different distances with different goals. For example ones goal might be to run a 3 minute mile.

One question that many people ask is: "How many days do I need to train to run a marathon?" Well every single person would have a different amount. It all depends on your current level of fitness prior to your training. People who run marathons all the time may only need 30 days where as a beginner may need a full 100 days.

Another question that many beginners have is: "How can I make a marathon running training plan?" My answer to that is why would you want to make your own plan when you have zero experience with it and their are a plentiful of pre-made plans to go around? Here is one pre-made program from http://www.halhigdon.com/marathon/train1n.html that you can take a look at.

"Monday: In this training schedule for novice marathoners, Monday is always a day of rest. Count on it! Rest is important for recovery after the weekend's workouts, particularly as the long runs progress from 6 to 20 miles. Your body needs time to recover. So take the day off. Friday is also a day of rest. In this program you will run on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Sunday is a day for cross-training."

That is just a sample of a marathon running training program. I would not recommend you train on it, it's there solely just to give you an idea of what a plan looks like.
