Marathon Training Guide
So, you've decided to take on what is widely regarded to be the hardest footrace on earth.
26.2 miles / 42 Km is a long way in anyone's book and running it is one hell of a challenge.
The marathon is the ultimate test of physical and mental endurance and completing it will earn you respect and admiration for the rest of your life.
It is an experience you will never forget and no matter how tough the going gets - you will never regret taking on the challenge of the marathon.
To help you get through your training, fitFAQS have produced the free training guides below to help you prepare your body for its toughest test yet.
A much condensed (and certainly no substitute) version of my book, The Marathon and Half Marathon: A Training Guide, the free training guide and training timetables below cover the basics of marathon training and should give you a great start.
There is no catch, all we ask is that you visit our sponsors when you decide to buy something to help with your training. Let's face it, without the sponsors, the guides would never have been written so please pay them a visit.
Click on the guide below and chose a training timetable which you think will best suit you. If you're not sure, why not download them both?
Good luck with your training.
