Prepare Well, Finish Strong PRE - MARATHON TRAINING If you have never run a marathon before give yourself plenty of time to prepare.

During this phase the body will adapt to building endurance, increasing strength in your muscles, and allow the connective tissue to begin the neurological response needed for what you are looking to achieve. If you approach this section too fast or just go into training, you can open up the possibility of getting injured and decrease your efforts for training further. The idea of building a quality base training program will allow you to gauge your level of intensity not only for speed but for distance as well. The goal is to improve and increase the overall effectiveness of your entire training cycle.
