RE: Marathon Post #5 #runforsteem
Good luck i'ts the training that is the really hard work. I have done one and it was a lot of fun. Well worth the effort.

Thanks, I'm also looking forward to it. Which one did you do? Do you still have your training plan so that I can compare?
I did the Disney World Marathon about ten years ago. I don't have the program anymore but the base to start the program was four runs of 8 miles each every week. One day was a long run which I added two miles a week to the run. The longest run I did was 20 miles. I didn"t do any speed work. I have trained a couple of times for other marathons but have had a few hamstring injuries. It was fun to do and worth it.
Sounds more extreme than what I'm currently doing. I'm starting with 3 runs of about 3 miles and on Sundays I run about 8 miles and this is something I'm going to improve on over the next months.
I have read that the most important thing is the long run. Seems like that's what you need to do to be able to complete the distance. On the day its exciting with lots of people around so that really helps you get to the finish line.
Yeah, I look forward to it.
Are you aware of the @runningproject?
I'll check it out thanks.
