Before you know it, you are running a 5k! But a lot of runners have a hard time making improvements after they have become comfortable with 2-3 mile runs. You want to continue to build your endurance and run a little further or longer. Maybe you even want to run a 10 miler or half marathon, but itâs daunting.
The primary elements of marathon training are: 1  Base mileage. Build your weekly mileage over time, running three-to-five times per week. 2  The long run. Do a long run every 7â10 days so your body can adjust gradually to long distances. 3  Speed work. Practice intervals and tempo runs to increase your cardio capacity.  Rest and recovery.
