I have lots of weight. At the moment I run 5 km every two or three days, plus I train in the gym. I limit my food consumption but sometimes I can break my diet and begin to eat a lot.
I would like to take part in a marathon.
How many times a week do I need to run (how many times a week and how long should my running training be)?
Good day.
I'm 55 and I've been running for a long time, my usual distance is 10-15 km and 21 sometimes. My average pace is 6:15 min/km. I do interval running sometimes as well.
Now, I want to run my first marathon. Is it enough to run 10-15 km every other day at a slow pace without ambition (I can talk during running) or is it advisable to move on?
Thank you.
Good afternoon.

Good afternoon!
I’ve recently completed my first half marathon with a final time of 2:08:26.
How long does it take me to train for a marathon? Could I train for marathon without a coach but using online programs and apps?
It is not effective but still, I’d like to understand.
Good afternoon,
My height is about 2 meters. I know about recommendations on power trainings for tall people. Are there recommendations for such people if we say about long-distance running (half-marathon, marathon)?
