How do you train for a marathon?

Response:
A lot of people who run marathons will start training about six months before the marathon. You would typically start by running short lengths, a couple times a week, such as 2 to 3 miles a day, 2 to 3 days per week after a couple weeks of that, you would build up to six or 7 miles per day Often marathon runners will run one day a week longer, such as 10 miles on a Saturday or Sunday. About one month out is when you shored train the longest, such as a 15 mile run on the weekend. Within about two weeks of the race you want to start cooling down and resting.  usually a day or two before before the race you will start carb loading, which is when you eat a lot of carbohydrates. The day of the race is usually a celebratory event, as running a marathon is a big milestone!
