How many miles a day should I run to prepare for the Virgin Money London Marathon?
Congratulations if you have a place in the Virgin Money London Marathon. Simply put, it's not a case of just running a set amount per day, but instead about gradually building up to prepare your body for the rigours of a marathon. We would advise you follow a structured beginner marathon training plan (usually over 16 weeks or more) which will safely prepare you for your marathon. A training plan will outline a week-by-week schedule that will progressively get you ready to tackle the 26.2 miles.

I have a place in the 2019 London Marathon and want to do it as I am 80 this December. I have never run before and have to admit I do not particularly like running but I am looking on it as a challenge. I have started week 3 of "Couch to 5k" programme and have completed 4 park runs with a PB of just over 41 mins(quite slow). I have read several training programmes etc. but would welcome your advice as to the best way to achieve my goal and stay really motivated. I also go to the gym a couple of times a week for body strengthening exercises. Many thanks.
