Hey y'all, I just ran my first half marathon on 10/8 and wanted to start training for a marathon (I am hoping to do the LA Marathon next year.) I was wondering if any of y'all know a good marathon training program. I found a great one to help me do my half but I can't really find one now.

I was running 20-25 miles a week for nine weeks with my half marathon program.
I also run between a 9:20-10 minute pace if that helps.

Thanks in advance fellow runners(:

    Since you have already done a half, this one might work for you.

    I use the Runners World Smart Coach iPhone app. There is a free version.

    Just wondering what training programme you used to train for your half marathon.
    I want to start training for a half...how long did it take you? (I've run 5ks and can cover 10k at the moment but havn't run one officially...)

    this is the link.
    i did the beginner's plan because before i started that program my longest run was 5 miles.
    it is a great program!
    good luck(:

    @avaloneternal: i am downloading that right now, thanks!

    Thank you!
    A mate has been trying to talk me into a marathon for aaaages...but I'm too chicken to agree to one until I've done a half!

    I vote for Hal Higdon:

    I've done LA four times (including last time in the CRAZY rain storm) and will do it again in March.

    Not sure where you are located, but that race has some nice training groups (LA Roadrunners) that meet up every weekend.
