    How would everyone reccomend training for a marathon? I just recently lost almost 50lbs and I would like to start training for a marathon. To give everyone a perspective, I have gotten comfortable with running 5ks and can run a decent 10k. I haven't tried running a half marathon yet.

    I like Hal Higdon's plan. I'm on the Novice 1 HM plan right now. Then I'll decide if I want to go for the 26.2 after that. I really liked the 10k I ran, so I'd be happy working on that distance if I don't like going for longer.

    I really like the Asics plans. Jenny Hadfield is another fantastic resource. I am currently 7 weeks out from marathon and despite not being as lean as when I ran my last I am faster... comfortably almost! Example being I dropped a 19 miler in 2hrs 46 mins on Sunday and afterwards still had tons of energy in the tank.

    Add me! I'm training for my first half marathon. I'm slower than snail snot, but I have big dreams.

    Slow is relative. In a recent half marathon I ran, snail snot beat over 48,000 residents of Harrisburg that did not participate. So even if you finish right behind it, you are still at the top. :D

    I'd say I'm a born-again runner. I ran a marathon 10 years ago, quit running (had a baby)...now I'm getting back into it and training for a half in May. Anyone can add me, I'm slooooow.
