Hi all

Doing my second half marathon tomorrow. Training for the last 2 months has been 2 three mile runs and 1 nine mile run weekly. Unfortunatley due to working full time and bringing up 3 children I'm only able to find time for 3 days training. Here's my question? If I was to consider doing a marathon next year, what sort of weekly training would I need to do? Does anybody out there have a training plan that would suit a runner that works full time and changes millions of nappys?

There are loads of marathon training schedules.

Put 'marathon training schedule' into google and have a look. It all depends on what you want from the marathon really...there are schedules to just get you round, to different target times with minimum 3 to 4 training days a week to 6 or even 7.

The key is to find a schedule that you think will fit around your lifestyle without too much hassle, although there's likely to be some compromise later on in the schedule

If you only have three days to train, may I suggest this training plan

I used it last year, as previously I had only been running two days a week and didn't want to risk overdoing things by adding in to many extra days running.
