I began training for my first marathon today. The marathon is Janruary 9, 2011… Anybody have or know of a good 6 month training program to help me out? I’m not a beginner runner, but I am not an advanced either. I can currently run 5-6 miles 6 days a week, obviously that will change while im training for a marathon. but whats a good program? because I really want to achieve this goal and i know i’ll need the proper training and nutrition?

You run 36 miles a week and you call yourself not advanced? Anything consistant over 20 miles a week is a good runner.
Just a little bit of new information today for all those internet marketers looking for the best new up and coming release for 2010. Be on the lookout of Niche Blueprint 2 coming on January 11, it is going to be huge and change the ecommerce marketplace.

Go to the library and pick up a book or two about running. Most marathon training programs are 16-20 weeks, so only 4 or five months. Six months is a big long to train.

I have run a few marathons and I suggest you slow down or stop drinking beer. It made me so much faster and I felt better as well. Otherwise, try getting longer runs in the weekends before you start your training. Go for an 8 miler this weekend, a 10 miler next weekend, and 10 miles the next few, then pick up your training.

Good luck!
