The more time you take, the better prepared you can be- and the less likely to suffer an injury because of overtraining. By Peaksware Run With Hal personalizes a training plan based upon your personal running routine, fitness level, and lifes schedule to help you conquer any event from 5K to Marathon or help you. My Novice Supreme program offers a gentle 30-week ramp with the long run in the first week only 3 miles.

This might include a 5-K or 10-K program. So my question back to you is, “How much time remains before your goal marathon?” If more than 18 weeks, you can take advantage of the extra time to do some pre-training. The long-run mileage ramps up to 7 miles and beyond, climaxing with 20 miles in the peak Week 15, three weeks out from the marathon (at which point tapering begins).

My question to people would be if you can handle that long of a run in your first week of training? You need to be fit enough to run 6 miles comfortably, even if taking walking breaks. Not every new marathoner possesses this much base, but that would be ideal, considering that the long run in Mile 1 of my 18-week Novice 1 program is 6 miles. Ideally, I would like runners to be up to 15 to 25 weekly miles before starting to train for a marathon. How many miles should I be running weekly before I start your Novice 1 training plan? I have suffered a few injuries in the past, so I want to be cautious about doing too much. I want to start training for my first marathon.
