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)?

Good afternoon.
If you're tall your musculoskeletal system can be exposed to the increased load during training. Therefore, you should take this risk into consideration regardless of a kind of training.
It's recommended to avoid intensive jumping exercises as an impact load can cause inflammation processes in your joints or ligaments and back pain as well.
Be careful while training with weights. Bodyweight exercises should be preferable.
Exercises on "decompression of the spine" should be done for injury prevention. It's a set of exercises aimed at the release of muscle tension in back and spinal stretching. The set consists of twistings, throwings legs behind a head, hang on the bar etc.
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.
How many kilometers, on average, per week should I run when training for a half-marathon and marathon?
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)?
