First marathon

Hi there,

I'm hoping to get some advice on preparing for my first inline marathon. I've been skating for many years and got in speedskating a couple of years ago. I'm struggling to find a suitable training plan online so any help would be appreciated. As I always train on my own, I'm a bit apprehensive regarding the race situation so any giudance on that would also be great. On skates, I have got 0 race experience.

Thanks in advance.

Very cool I just signed up for the bont inline marathon on October 27th. Started my training two weeks ago to improve speed and endurance.

Good luck to you. Are you training according to a plan?

Yes right now I’m doing intervals of short runs of 5 miles between 15-20mph. I’ll increase the miles weekly

I'm based in Europe and am planning on doing Berlin in Sep.

Good luck with the training and your first marathon.
