The most common question I get from people back home is: What's China like? My website: http://www.owendennis.com China blog: http://www.owendennis.com/blo...
Assuming you can run 2 miles now at a nice easy pace (conversational), within 20 weeks you should be able to train up to being able to finish marathon distance at that nice easy pace (between 10 and 12 minute miles) or approximately 4 to 5 hours.
âFor that runner, youâre looking at 10 weeks from the marathon to the point where theyâre ready to start training at a high level again,â Rea says. Rea, too, believes itâs possible for runners to take advantage of their fitness to step down and run fast over shorter distances not long after a marathon.
