Hi! I'm running my first marathon this year at the end of November and I'm a bit unsure about how to approach training. My goal is to finish the 42 kilometers, taking my time. I've already run several half marathons and the longest distance I've run is 25 kilometers. Any advice?

There are a lot of ways to approach marathon trainings and a lot marathon plans are available online.   Typically those plans build you up to longer distances over time (25k, 28k, 30, 32k, 35k).    In my personal experience, that is the “easy” part, the hard part is figuring out the nutrition you need to complete the distance.  

As you still have a lot of time, doing some long distances might give you a head start in figuring out what your body needs.

 

Good luck.
