I was just curious so see if the Marathon is something I should pursue once out of college. I'm only 19 years old but have a 1:14:20 half marathon as a pr. I've also run 20 miles in 1:58:35 for a long run. I tend to better at longer distances on the road where I can just go out and keep hammering away and my high school coach (2:16 marathoner) thinks I have what it takes. Any advice on what I should do??? thanks
Good to hear you are already thinking about you potential, and it seems you have plenty. My advice though, would be to wait until after your last collegiate race before beginning marathon training. After your Senior year of track, do a 3-4 month prep, w/ plenty of long runs and some summer races sprinkled in. Then you'll be ready for a fall marathon. Continue to run longer road races between now and then, if it doesn't interfere with your team's race schedule. Good luck!
