How far out in advance did you select your marathon training program after registering for your first marathon?
Thanks!

Have never run a marathon, but I picked my HM training plan before ever registering for a HM. LOL
Slow and steady wins the.... wait a second! I've been lied to!

I probably had it before I signed up.

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

Are we there, yet?
I didn't have time to select a training program because I signed up for my first two weeks before the race.
2024 Races:
03/09 - Livingston Oval Ultra 6-Hour, 22.88 miles
05/11 - D3 50K 05/25 - What the Duck 12-Hour
06/17 - 6 Days in the Dome 12-Hour.
Okay. I don't feel so dorky then for finding one a year out. lol!
I thought we were going to tell you that you were late. Glad to see you already selected it.
If you've got a good enough base, you can get away with that.
I'm great at procrastinating, but not this time.
I asked the question because I told someone that I had already found the plan I wanted to use and was sort of shocked when they mentioned not even looking at any yet. This person is registered for a first full as well and is certainly not like George.

I ran a 20 miler one day and thought "that's not that bad", that night I signed up for a marathon five weeks out. George is right... if you've got the base you don't need much notice (granted I didn't run very well but I still finished/enjoyed it).
In the words of my late-coach : Just hang in there, relax... and at the end of a race anyone you see.....just pass them
