Hey I'm thinking of running the Columbus marathon next year. Do you have any advice or training tips? I've been running 5k's for over 4 years and I've trained at 50 miles a week before. What training schedule did you use?

[oldblue27]

Yes, sure. Start 3-4 months out. If you've been doing 3 miles or so, gradually increase your weekly runs to 3-5 miles for at least 2-3 days during the week. Then do some longer (slower) weekend runs. Try to gradually get to a 8 or 10 miler over 3-6 weeks. Then email me back:

This past year was my first marathon, what a great experience that was!
