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.
The first part of the strategy is to come prepared. A 4 hour marathon canât be done by someone who has trained little (unless youâre an elite athlete). Youâll need to have finished at least a 12-week marathon training plan, and preferably 16 or 20 weeks.If youâre not sure that you can do a marathon in 4 hours, do a 10k race test (at least 5 days before the race).he first part of the strategy is to come prepared.
