O.K. Here's my training schedule. I found it on the Internet somewhere. Looks like one I can handle. I already ran 4 miles on the treadmill two nights ago.
This shoud be an easy-to-follow 22-week marathon training schedule.
Prerequisites
Before you start this training schedule, you need to:
Be able to run (or run/walk) 4 miles - I can do this
Be able to run 4 days a week - should be able to do this
Have done these two things for at least 4 months - I've been fairly active
Be ready to make a commitment to a life-changing goal - Yep
Weekly Marathon Training Schedule
Mon, Wed, and Fri: Run 4 miles
Tues, Thurs, Sat: Rest (or walk)
Sunday: Long Runs (Mileage Building)
Feel free to switch the actual days that you do your workouts but try to keep this pattern: run, rest/walk, run, rest/walk, run, rest/walk, long run. (Example: if you would like your long run to be on Saturday, instead of Sunday, your marathon training schedule would look like this: Sun, Tues, Thurs: run 4 miles; Mon, Wed, Fri: rest or walk; Saturday: long runs.
