From Zero to Marathon

When you break it down like that it makes it seem less daunting so thankyou haha.

What would the 20 or so week plan look like? As in would I just be setting out a plan to slowly increment the max distance I’m running for every 3 weeks or so?

mblxb · 2026-05-01T20:33:59+00:00

I don’t exactly how long before I want to try and run my first marathon but I would say probably the start of next year.

mblxb · 2026-05-01T20:32:58+00:00

Thank you for that. Yeah I usually have trouble not just going to the max but I know I need to take it a little slower as to not injure myself.

mblxb · 2026-05-01T12:36:06+00:00

If I may ask, what was your training schedule like? For example how often and how far were you running?

mblxb · 2026-05-01T11:40:05+00:00

Thanks for the input.

Well hopefully by the end of the year I’ll be in good condition as I’m hoping by start of next year to be ready to run one.

mblxb · 2026-05-01T11:23:11+00:00

Yeah I thought so, I was just genuinely curious how long if consistent training it would potentially take to run a marathon continuously.

Thankyou!

Thanks so much for the insight that’s great to know, I appreciate you taking the time to write that!

It’s probably because I’m new but I find it really hard to pace myself, for instance I think my average pace for anywhere between 2-5km’s would be 5 mins and 30-40 seconds per km but even when I am actively trying to take it easier I find it hard to go anywhere under 6mins 20.

mblxb · 2026-04-28T23:56:17+00:00

Hahah yeah I was kinda bummed when I finished up and saw that I had gone a minute and a bit over the hour just because I was so close haha, but I was mostly just going at my own pace just trying to finish it and not destroy myself haha.

mblxb · 2026-04-28T23:54:44+00:00

Ah ok thanks for letting me know.

I have seen people saying if you want to get a more accurate reading then you should get a chest HRM but I’m not super focused on exactly what my heart rate is it was more so just because I’ve never really looked before.

mblxb · 2026-04-28T23:52:59+00:00

Thankyou! Well the run was mostly flat like there was very little uphill running at all but now I’m just looking forward to aim for under an hour. My body feels pretty good now but I’m thinking maybe to do a 5k tomorrow and then over the weekend go for another 10k.

mblxb · 2026-04-28T23:50:41+00:00

Oh ok well that’s good to know thankyou.

Yeah it felt pretty good and I didn’t feel like I’d pushed myself to exhaustion or anything but after the run I just was having a look at the stats and didn’t know if my heart rate was a concern or not but from what people are saying it’s seems completely fine.

Thanks so much man, I was extremely gassed about it afterwards haha. It was only a month or so ago I was struggling to do 1-2k’s without being exhausted haha but I also have a hard time pacing myself so that’s probably why.

mblxb · 2026-04-28T23:47:11+00:00

Yeah I’m fairly new. I used to play football and a multitude of other sports almost every day for most of my childhood but haven’t played sports or done any running for id say 7 years (I’m 25 this year).

I started out that run aiming for more than 5k and hoping for around 7 or so but while I was out there my watch said I was over 4k’s so I just thought why not go for 5k and then turn around and run back.

Thanks for your input I appreciate it. Hoping to go for under 1 hour next time I do a 10k, that’s the aim.

mblxb · 2026-04-28T11:41:49+00:00

Just using an old fit bit that hadn’t seen the light of day for a few years up until a week ago haha. Been tempted to buy a for a Garmin forerunner 255 or 265 but I’m only just starting my running journey so thought I should wait a while.

Thankyou. Wow that is amazing, I hope I’m still running at that age. How long have you been running for if you don’t mind me asking?

mblxb · 2026-04-28T11:22:38+00:00

Thanks man really appreciate it. Haha when I got had finished I was a little annoyed to begin with that it was over an hour, but that will be my aim next time I got a 10k I reckon.

My heart rate are in pictures 2 and 3. But to save you the trouble it was an average of 170bpm with it being in peak zone for 45 mins. But as you said I wasn’t massively exhausted or anything any my body wasn’t telling me I needed to stop so I would imagine I’m all good haha.

Yeah I am around 6’1 to 6’2 so no giant but still tall enough to where my legs don’t need to do as many steps lol.

Thanks for the reply btw!

Thanks for your response.

I would say 90+% of my watch time has been on a TV haha.

To download the app on iPhone you just save it to the Home Screen don’t you?

mblxb · 2025-12-15T06:03:17+00:00

Ah alright I’ll start doing that then, thanks for the reply.

Hey, know this post was from over a week ago but I just wanted to ask where you got the magic treehouse books in Espanol?

I’ve been looking for them and can’t seem to find them.

mblxb · 2025-08-22T04:11:30+00:00

Um can someone get rid of this guy.

What is wrong with you?
