Marathon Training.

Training for a Marathon requires 60 to 80 kilometers of running every week for about 16 weeks. Long runs are 21 to 32k and are usually done on weekends. I find it best to train with members of a running group like Nike Run Club (NRC) or the Running Room. A "don't stop, won't stop" attitude really helps especially when thinking of quitting! Happy running πŸ™‚
