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.

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!
