Question Hello, I am a sgt in the army and will be training for my first marathon this year. I am also running the army 10 miler and a half marathon. Do you know of a good training plan for all of this without over exerting myself. It would need to be a bit flexible as i am not always able to stick by a work out or running schedule because of my job. Also any good diet tips, I found my self getting almost nothing to eat trying to eat healthy, because most things that are available just aren't healthy. Thank you for any help

Answer Hi Sarah, I have ran many marathons and the most important thing is the long run once a week and sometimes once every two weeks depending on many things. There are many training plans for marathons.....try Runner's World magazine's web site.....Randy Galloways run/walk plan, or just google marathon training and you will get numerous programs for biginners and advanced runners. Good luck...Joe
