As far as starting to train for a marathon, our club suggests having a 20 mile a week base (at least) prior to starting our 16 week build up program. Frankly, I think that 20 MPW is too low; I wouldn't even think about training for a marathon until I've had a year of running/racing under my belt. ollie Post a reply on the Bulletin Board
