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.
How much time does it take to build stamina for running? I am 27 years old and 16 percent obese. I am having sedentary work profile. A month ago I started running. unfortunately I cant even run 2kms at a stretch in 20mins. I love running and wish to participate in some marathon. Can anyone suggest from their personal experience how much time & efforts it takes to build that stamina and lung capacity.
