Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can best prepare for a marathon in 60 days?
I know it’s possible and I’m comfortable preparing for a half Marathon in two weeks from no training. Any fitness guru’s out there that can steer me in the right direction?
WOW! very ambitious. I wish you all the best luck here.
What is your present fitness level? How far and long can you run now? Have you run a marathon previously? half marathon? How recently?
I have fun a few marathons and half marathons. I am not an guru. I know from those outings that I am never going to make a real marathoner out myself. I prepared for about a year for my first attempt. And did not do very well. I did better the second time around with only about 6 months preparation.
You might try a 60 minute/ 5-6 miler run to start. If that is no problem, the next day do a 90 minute run. You need to get to 120 minutes and cover 10-12 miles. If you can’t get there in the first couple of weeks, then I am going to say you will have a hard time even with the half marathon. By day 30, you need to be comfortable with doing a 10 mile run at least once or twice a week. Then you have to push up to 20 miles shortly after that. By the 45-50th day, you need to run the whole thing thing. The last 7-10 days take much shorter runs, save your legs for the big day.
Get a few Running magazines. they have articles very regularly that might help you. Don’t get discouraged if you can’t get ready in 60 days. That is a HUGE challenge. Even if you prepared for 6 months, it would still be a big challenge. Best regards. I hope you have a great run.
