So instead, I asked a friend of mine, who is, in fact, a marathon training expert, to write on this topic. However, while I’m very comfortable helping people train for a 5K, 10K or half marathon, I’m not comfortable advising people on training for a marathon, even though I’ve covered 26.2 miles multiple times (including the 20 Boston Marathons). In short, there’s no such thing as waking up one day and running a marathon without training for months in advance (that is, at least, if you are hoping to stay healthy, run injury free and not hate race day).

When I’m in intense marathon training mode, I change the way I eat, drink, my social habits (gotta wake up early on the weekends to fit those long runs in!), and even my work-life balance changes since I can’t work as much when I’m running that much! It takes a lot of dedication and sacrifice. Even after running dozens of half marathons, training for a full marathon changed my entire lifestyle. Training for a marathon is an entirely new world if you’ve never ventured to that distance before.
