Question: I've been running since April with friends at work. We started very slowly (in fact, we still go very slowly!) but worked up to what was my first half marathon about 5 weeks ago.

I'd like to run a marathon in the next 12 months, but I'm not sure where to find a good training schedule. I've seen lots of schedules around on the net and in magazines, but I'm not experienced enough to know which ones are better than others. What I'd like is to find one that enables me to get through a marathon without experiencing a nightmare at mile 20: a couple of friends who've run the distance tell me that's pretty common. I'm not sure it's possible to avoid it, but if it is then I'd really like to know the best way of going about it.

Does anyone have any recommendations? All advice very welcome :)
