Question:
When do I start training for the full marathon? Since it will be my
first, my goal will be just to finish it. I would however like to have
a 'comfortable' run, meaning that I want to be very well prepared for
it.
Answer:18-24 weeks seems to be a typical duration. I did my first on a 20
week program (and I'd only really started running in earnest two months
ealier, so I went from couch potato to Marathon in six months).
