"Hi! I’m Angela on behalf of Expertvillage.com and right now I am going to show you how to build for a marathon. Step 2: This is after you have already been training for 8 weeks. Weeks 16 to 4 these are the steps that you would want to follow. You want to begin tempo runs at 7 miles by week 15. At 7 miles, you have a set time in which you do each mile whether it’s 8 minutes or 5 minutes. This tempo keeps you calculated so that you keep a constant rate. Step 2 is to build up another mile each week or every other week. Never do more because you will overexert yourself. If you do feel strenuous activity that is causing you pain then wait another week until you build for the next mile. Also, during this time to build up your endurance to run extremely for long you want to have 3-4 intervals of long slow distant runs. These are a little brisk of a jog but for a much longer period of time, which builds your endurance to run for a very long time."
