Consider doing at least 4-6 weeks of starting mileage to build yourself up to a 16-week plan. Does this mean you need years and years of running before deciding to complete a marathon? No, not at all.
Jumping immediately into 30+ mile weeks can wreak havoc on your lower limbs and ultimately can delay your ability to train for race day. The importance of having a solid foundation is that you can load your bones and tendons safely while avoiding injury. These distances include 5k, 10k, 15k, 10 mile, and half marathons. A good piece of advice if you are brand new to running is to start with shorter distances first and work your way up. Many plans will be taking into account that you have already been running with enough frequency previously to be able to handle and withstand the training for a marathon. One of the best pieces of advice would be to take an honest intake of your current run fitness prior to beginning any plans. Many plans you can find online will outline a 16-week build-up to marathon race day. Signing up for a marathon can be both exhilarating as well as daunting.
