Strictly speaking, a marathon is a 26.2-mile race. Running a marathon requires a commitment to training for the runner to reach peak physical condition. The human body has to be trained over time to be able to run such long distances. Runners training for marathons are encouraged to focus on several areas including weekly running, speed work, and recovery.
Training for a marathon can range from runs of 15-50 miles per week, with newer runners starting at the lower end. Training conditions joints and muscles for the future marathon. Speed work such as interval training also helps with aerobic conditioning. Finally, recovery plans can include yoga, rest days, and static or active stretching.
