Hello everyone, I am starting to train for the full Marathon at Disney next year. I finish two 1/2 Marathon at Disney. They were great, but full Marathon looks daunting. I have read one or two articles for beginners with Marathons. I was wondering if anyone has any other ideas and articles.

Congratulations on finishing two Disney 1/2s and training for a full! I agree, it can seem overwhelming, but you've definitely got a base for the full with those races under your belt. And by training now, or training to train, you'll have plenty of time to get used to the additional miles.

A lot of us here like John Bingham's "Marathoning for Mortals" book as a guide. Or John Galloway's RW programs. In addition to posting here on the main WISH Forum, you might also post your question on the Events/Competition subforum, where you might get different answers. :thumbsup2

Welcome. Ditto's to the Event's Competition thread. One thing this board does best is teaches that you are not alone in these goals. I just did my first 1/2 in January and have signed up for the full next year. All kind of support here!
