One of the most common questions on training for a marathon is how many weeks out from the race do you start to train. Hopefully you have been doing some running before this point, but sixteen weeks is a great time to start you specific preparation. During this time training should be specific to the 26.2 mile distance. One key run to focus on is the long run. The long run should be in your marathon training schedule once a week. Gradually working your way up to 20 miles over an eight-week period or longer, will help you to stay less injury prone. If you do not have a course measured, running a slow pace for two and half to three hours will be enough.
Another key run is a five to ten mile run close to marathon pace. You should run that workout once a week. Make sure you gradually increase the distance over a period of time. The other days are ran at an easy pace and used for recovery. I will talk about tapering for the marathon distance in my blog down the road.To learn more you can go to http://www.therunnersguide.com/blog/

A video from blog http://www.therunnersguide.com/blog/

My friends who don’t run ask me if I get hungry during my 20 mile run. I tell them sometimes I do. When I do get hungry on my long run, I suck down something called GU Energy Gel. It’s a small package that has a jelly substance that contains carbohydrates. It helps put off fatigue that usually slows you down during the marathon. It also delivers the complex carbohydrates to muscles as energy.

I try to take in a packet every 3 to 4 miles. I also try to have some water with them so they go down easier. I strongly recommend that if you plan to use the GU packets in the marathon you practice using them on your long runs. You want to make sure your body can handle it because each person is different. You can buy GU Energy Gel online or your favorite running store for about a dollar a packet.
