Iââ¬â¢m planning to run a marathon on Sept. the 9th, so roughly 3 and a half months from now. Last year I kept the 10 k schedule until mid August, having arrived to 30k saturday long runs, with a half marathon 4 weeks before (August 14th), but then, because of some niggles couldnââ¬â¢t do as many specific workouts as I think I should have done taking into account my lack of experience, and faded badly after 28k. I will try to be a little more specifically prepared, I think thatââ¬â¢s possible. My long runs are up to 20k more or less now, so Iââ¬â¢ll keep increasing them every other week by 2 or 3k and alternate some marathon paced runs (must arrive to a realistic pace) and faster (not much) workouts in between. Of course any suggestions are welcome.
