The most common question I get from people back home is: What's China like? My website: http://www.owendennis.com China blog: http://www.owendennis.com/blo...
Assuming you can run 2 miles now at a nice easy pace (conversational), within 20 weeks you should be able to train up to being able to finish marathon distance at that nice easy pace (between 10 and 12 minute miles) or approximately 4 to 5 hours.
This means that you need to be able to comfortably run 30-35 miles per week before you begin training for a marathon. RELATED: 5 Steps In Marathon Training. If youâre not at this number, it doesnât mean you can never train for a marathon.
