- 5K is the perfect entry point: short, fun, and easy to repeat in training.
- 10K requires pacing — tempo runs are a great way to build endurance.
- Half Marathon training takes 3 months on average, focusing on gradually increasing weekly distance.
- Marathon preparation is a serious commitment, needing 12–16 weeks of long runs and recovery.
Whichever distance you choose, patience and consistency are crucial. Pairing smart training with proper nutrition for stamina and recovery makes the journey smoother and more enjoyable.
