Running a Marathon within Six Months

by Simon
(Wisconsin)

How can I train for a marathon and be ready by July 2011?


Answer by Dominique:


Hi Simon,
Thanks for your question about running a marathon within six months.

I am not a huge fan of going from zero to 42.2k within six months. I am not saying it is impossible, but your marathon/running experience may not be as enjoyable as it could be.

Having said that I understand that people want to do it. I would recommend using a marathon running program that is put together by a real professional. One of those programs is 100 Day Marathon Plan created by former Olympian Marius Bakken.

Marius teaches you how to go to a marathon in 100 days leaving you plenty of time to do a marathon in July. I would recommend building up your running for 2-3 months, then stepping into Marius' program for the remaining 100 days.

Best of luck.
Kind regards,
Dominique
