For anyone considering running a marathon then they should know it’s easy to train for it. Elite runners train with 80% of their weekly distance as easy and going 100% on that is totally ok.
So going out there, running at a comfortable/enjoyable pace is all you need as long as you’re consistent. It’s literally that easy. Increase weekly distance by 10% a week and do a long session ideally once per week. Long distances should also follow a 10% per week max increase to avoid injury.
So basically, you end up chilling, listening to podcasts and plodding along for a year and you end up being ready for a marathon.
One quick side note: If something feels weird in any of your tendons, just chill and take some days off and do quick warm ups before running.








I’m from Iceland and this pretty much checks out. Pro tip, renting a cabin with a hot tub on days with good conditions is really good. Also travel with people who smoke so they go out and check on a regular basis.
