Can you train for a marathon in 5 months?

Question

I run like a 6:45 mile and can jog 4 or 5 miles.

Answer 1

I'm not track trainer or experience enough runner, so not sure. But your performances seems like this is possible for you in terms of being able to compete. But winning it, you might need more time. But in that 5mos, you probably need to use the time really effectively. You would probably need a professional track coach/trainer.
