Default I'm entering a marathon!

Hey,

I will be doing a 26 mile walk/jog marathon in May. Was wondering if anyone had advice on how to train for this and perhaps some stories of their own to share. Would be greatly appreciated!

You mad woman!!!! You've caught the 3FC running bug! Iam *attending* the Berlin marathon with another 3FCer but watching only

I have no advice other than to read a lot of running books/magazines and get ideas on training plans, to read up and get opinions of sources of nutrition you will need on the run, and to get the best pair of running shoes you can afford!

I am doing my first 10 k this year, I have never run before, and am just starting to train now.

There's still time to enter once you get the bug...

(I've replied to your other post on this, so won't repost here)

I just started training for a 5K run in April and I went to a site coolrunning dot com and couchto5K dot com. But try google and you would be amazed at all the sites that come up. Good luck!!
