I’m preparing for a marathon in november 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️.

Please I need serious recomendations on how yo train such a long run like a marathon. I’m sure I will do complete it under 5 hours. 

That is my goal ✅

Rewind to highschool bio and remember those 2 energy systems in your muscle cells that make ATP: glycolysis = 2 ATP; Krebs/mitochondria makes 34…much more efficient.

You need to train the low-intensity system that makes the 34, and the only way to do that is a huge volume of low-intensity exercise.

You’ll increase your distance to a little less than marathon-distance over the two months leading into your event, and there are myriad mileage plans you can read, but they’re all similar.

Listen/read Phil Maffetone for more on low-intensity, and don’t over-complicate your plan.

If you do much high intensity, your body will get too fatigued to sustain the large quantity of low-intensity training required.

So that means as much running time at a conversational pace (i.e. you can chat) pace as your body can handle. It’s way slower than you would think, at first
