I know this board is not much into running, but seems like many guys here competed in track during high school.
What should be my approach to having a decent time in a marathon?
I've done a few races a few years ago where i just wanted to "finish" but i'm over that now.
Other forums like letsrun say you should run a minimum of 50 mpw to complete a marathon. Do i have to break down the training into cycles, for example building a base mileage at slow pace and then doing tempo runs or something like that?
