Marathon Pre-training?

Question

thanks to Kat F. I know that I need to be doing pre-training for my marathon. I have 14 months untill the marathon so about 8 months of pre-training. Can someone make me (or find me) a pre-training schedule. Inculding what days to run, how long/how far and what days to rest/cross train? I have never run anything before so this is my time to learn how. I have barley even run the mile. Any help would be appreciated.

Oh and if posisble I would like if the weekends could be either cross-training or rest days.

Answer 2

Go to runnersworld.com and find the "smart coach," you have to type in your altest race details, what you are training for, how long you wish to train, and the difficulty.  Good luck!
