There is a huge difference between a being beginner-runner and being a beginner- marathoner. Most all marathon programs acknowledge this important distinction.

My beef has to do with a few notable charitable organizations that immerse total neophytes into the rigors of marathon training without sufficient running foundation — too many coming from quite sedentary lifestyles. I've seen the casualties, and I don't care for it at all.

Become a runner first, then become a marathoner.
