I would not recommend doing a 26 miler while training for your first marathon. Most programs require runs no longer than 18-20. Check out Hal Higdon's novice program, it's a great introduction, you can find it through the training link at www.chicagomarathon.com Good Luck!! Post a reply on the Bulletin Board
