:top: Good Luck !! Running Half Marathon or Full marathon is setting your own benchmark and pushing to the limits. It needs vigorous and dedicated training specially the full marathon. 4 months of it is sufficient for the half marathon and 6-8 months of good training is great for the full marathon. If you are starting from the scratch.

Hi andang,

Will it be your first time going for marathons? Are you planning to have some races as well?

Oh yes @andang. Saimans is a pro level athlete.

Question for you Saimans (though a bit off-topic):
What about leg muscles training per your experience? The 'tibialis anteriors' really giving me hard time during/after Squash. Stamina is dependable now but the pain pushes me out of the court fast. I guess nothing serious else than muscle weakness. Any tips?
