How To Train For A Marathon | GTN's Tips For Marathon Success

Nah— a year of training

Not 6 months…

If i want to incorporate regular strength training, how often and on which days is it recommended to add these? Should I add strength once a week on my recovery run days?

I am training for my first marathon that is ten months out. I am very nervous but have been watching your videos and taking down notes. I’d love to say I have a set time in mind but I just want to finish and say I finished my first marathon!

6 runs a week 😭😂

I did some homework, and I need some clarification. The following statements reflect my understanding. Are these conclusions correct?
1. A long run is nothing but a zone 2 run for an extended period.
2. A recovery run is nothing but a zone 2 run.

I got runners knee half way into my training..I have to February. But my running is on hold till my knee gets better

As a half marathon lover, if you see me running a marathon - you should be running too. Something is chasing me and will, likely, eat me.

Its june of 2023 and here i am trying to make my 1st full marathon here in japan but just got knee runner doing 21km run for training 😭😅

I asked my buddy how his first Marathon went. He told me those last 23 miles were a real bitch! 😄

Training for La Media Marathon de Bogotá

Hey there
I need help to prepare for a short distance marathon nearly 2km
In 3 days from now
How should i prepare plz help
Any tips

I’m following the Dublin City Marathon plan, 22 weeks (advanced), 5 runs a week

Mind is key to run marathon ❤️

They just assume I will be wearing shoes smh

Is the location anywhere in Peak District England ❤️?

My god. 10 miles. I can barely do 2kms even though I've been running since a year

I am proud of the comment section. I am just trying to find tips how to avoid dying after 500m. And everyone is just like: "yeah I just finished 30km" like it's nothing!! Woah

Thanks

I'm running a 10km on the 28th of January, I still have to start training.

I've just started again after a year what a miracle muscle memory was my first run I ran 7 miles and then 3 days ago I ran 8 miles almost 9 on the tracker.

I ran near coyotes and black bears a lot of cattle and elk.

Hi I am training for Marathon in July on Gold Coast Australia.
Training going well.
Up to 3rd week training.
Doing relax run speed work long run.
Thinking of doing 1 more run.
Been having lot of rest between runs.

Thanks for your advice, top account to follow

I am also considering the shoes. Is that the On Running Cloudsurfer? I want that too but some said its heavy. But maybe the overall use of the shoes beats the being heavy?

I’ll be training for a marathon during the beginning of October

Too many transitions and useless talking 🤨

I ran/walked the Rotorua Marathon (In New Zealand) at 116kgs with 3 weeks training after having covid twice, bad tooth infection and food poisoning all around the same time. I can say with certainty it was not enough training even though completing the marathon but I knew this and got the time of 5.57 for my first. Now training for next year dropping weight and building up my endurance to do the Tarawera Ultra Marathon also in Rotorua, New Zealand (50km, 100km, 100Miles) Likely to be doing 50km but we'll see where my training leads me by February 2023. :)

Ran a hard-core mountain trail/pavement marathon last year with 5 weeks of training, it sucked but I got through it. Now starting to train for one that's in 5 months with a pretty decent cardio base, I'm stoked to see how much better I can do with a proper amount of training lol 🫁

aint nobody got time for that!

Want to get better at running? Run more 😂 jk nice vid thanks!

Any marathon plans available, i really loved your 10k program and the details where perfect
Thank you

what brand of running shoes do you wear in your videos?

It's now the month of may and im taking a lot of inspiration from this video to train during the summer not for a marathon, but for when i start second year of college because i really want to be able to study hard the next year and succeed in my education.

I can barely run 100 m without dying this is gonna be fun

Can anyone answer how much km daily does eluid kipchoge run practice

my crush just asked me to run for her in a marathon and I’m like ok but 😩😩 i cant even run a km without coughing up like shit

lol how to train for a marathon in 12 weeks step 1 - run 10 miles

just signed up for my first marathon. Ive been watching these videos for a few months and have been inspired!

I want to lose 60 kilos and then train for a marathon, so see you this time next year or two years later! Only walking and dreaming for now…

Thank you for this

Got a random text from a friend "Hey, wanna run a half-marathon with me?"
I have absolutely no running experience and I probably couldn't even run more than a mile without keeling over, so here I am. Time to get to work!

I'm 19 and my smart ass has just decided that I want to join the army and now I have to be able to run 1.2 miles in about 10 minutes 30 seconds. Nowhere the same as a marathon I know but my lazy ass can't run to and i dont even like exercise so I'm here trying to learn how to run long distances because I'm more of a short distance sprinter than a long distance runner and I need to learn how to hold myself back right at the start

This is probably the best quality video I've ever watched

I haven’t been doing any strength training. I have really really bad runners knee at week 5 of my training and I’m being told that strength training helps reduce/eliminate the pain.

This video is golden! Going to rewatch and take detailed notes.

Finally past the injury phase of my training. Now I feel ready to Start the real training plan

I just completed my first marathon, and here's a few things I would change: Next time, wear compression socks, knee braces......pace myself better, and don't eat right before the run.

i have my shoe from 2016. im sure that has over 1000 miles. hopefully i can buy one soon.
