Training Duration for Marathon Preparation

The timeframe for training for a marathon varies based on fitness level and experience. Beginners may need at least six months to build up their endurance, while those able to run a half marathon might require four months. Buffer weeks are recommended to account for unforeseen circumstances like illness or holidays. Having extra time allows for a gradual increase in long runs and better adaptation to training.
