I’m a recreational runner and only run a couple of times a week. It’s not worth me going to the gym, is it?

Alex Banks, fitness and wellbeing manager, and personal trainer, at Berkshire health club, Castle Royle (castleroyle.com)

MARATHON TRAINING
{MADE FUN!}
YOUR FUN MARATHON TRAINING PLAN
This plan is designed to prepare you to run a marathon, but it aims to make your training journey as simple and enjoyable as possible. It’s a flexible plan in that it doesn’t tell you which days to run on. It’s up to you, but we would recommend trying to space your runs out within your week and taking a rest day the day after your long run. All your runs should be done at a comfortable pace and we encourage you to run/walk as much as you’d like
