If you do not know what program it is better for you, then you should try at least two of them to understand which one is easy for you. When choosing the right marathon training program here are some tips that you are obliged to keep in mind:

The first tip to remember is that you should try the program that has the middle length. It implies that it must be neither long, nor short. It may occupy at least 14-18 weeks for exercising, but if you are the first time runner, then it is better to choose more weeks.

The second point is that you should combine in your marathon training program the days of easy and hard running.

Set the purposes for yourself to reach them in a week to see on what level you are in achieving the purposes.

Do not set the unreal goals for you. If you are the elite runner, then the peak of the weekly distance is 45-65 miles, and if you are the novice, then you should take less.

Be flexible. What does it imply? It implies that it is better to take the free day from your trainings if you really need it and choose the program that will allow you to do this, without reminding the purposes you have already reached with it.

Do not select more than 20 mile run, if you are the newcomer, it is better to run 20 miles two times per day. When you achieve the elite stage, you will have the ability to extend the runs if you want.

Choose the marathon training program that is in the middle of being too demanding and too relaxing.
