For anyone considering running a marathon then they should know it’s easy to train for it. Elite runners train with 80% of their weekly distance as easy and going 100% on that is totally ok.
So going out there, running at a comfortable/enjoyable pace is all you need as long as you’re consistent. It’s literally that easy. Increase weekly distance by 10% a week and do a long session ideally once per week. Long distances should also follow a 10% per week max increase to avoid injury.
So basically, you end up chilling, listening to podcasts and plodding along for a year and you end up being ready for a marathon.
One quick side note: If something feels weird in any of your tendons, just chill and take some days off and do quick warm ups before running.
