Right now I am going to show you a training schedule sample for those who are training for a marathon. This specific schedule is targeted towards miles. If you want to know exactly how many miles you are running each week and target it so that every other week you are running more. Here is a chart that you can make out for yourself. In week 1, start with 8 miles. In week 2, bring it down to 3 miles less so that you can recover with your muscles. Then in the following week increase a mile from what you originally ran in your first week. Subtract 3 miles from it again in week 4, which is 6. Then increase it in week 5. Do these in week 6 and increase these to week 9 where you will be running 15 miles. As you increase your miles, to where you are practically running a half marathon, you need to make sure that you are taking extra care of yourself as far as sleep goes and diet is especially important during these times to keep your body well nurtured to be able to endure these lengthy runs.
