No matter what any other runner tells you about the plan they swear by, the best marathon training program is one that works for you. Some people respond well to logging high mileage six days a week others prefer lower-intensity plans that allow for more cross-training. That will look different to every single runner. Not only do you need a plan that gets you to the finish line, you need one that’s going to get you to the starting line feeling strong, healthy, and confident. And finding the right training plan? Well, that can be just as overwhelming as making that initial commitment to run. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned pro, training for 26.2 miles takes a minimum of four months of physical and mental prep.

Committing to running a marathon is a big.
