Hi all,
Starting a journey to prepare for a marathon, I’ll be going through different workouts and reviewing them, interested to see which workout people recommend.
P90x
Insanity
Insanity Max30
Slim in 6
Let me know your thoughts, training starts in 2 weeks

    For a marathon you want to run, do a bit of cross training and a bit of lifting.

    You want to find a good marathon training program. Do you already run? Cross training is a good idea, so you would want something that focuses more on strength training.

    If you want a Beachbody program in addition to your training you may want to try p90x3. So much great variety and only 30 min per day. That won’t cut into your running time. The full p90x program is 45-90 min workouts. 22 minute hard corps is another great one that definitely boosted my stamina (military boot camp style). I’ve tried most of the Beachbody programs so feel free to ask me any questions or add me :)

    My wife has used Slim in 6 for nearly 10 years. It's a fantastic basic strength program. Not too much for beginners but will definitely give you very solid functional strength and a good base for building on to later. It's not that easy either. I did it with her a few times years ago and it has a ton of squats and lunges. The more advanced tapes are great too. My daughter was an aerobics instructor in college and she loved the series too.

    Strength training in between run days would be my suggestion. As for a Beachbody program, maybe PiYo because it helps keep you strong and flexible.
