Training for a marathon

What would you recommend? I'm running 5 days a week one of those days is a long run so i don't want a routine that will be too hard. Also, should i do legs? I would think running would be enough workout for my legs. I am only able to workout 2 - 3 days a week for an hour max each time. Thanks Kim

I can tell you working out 2-3 times a week for an hour each is fine, and yes, you should be working your legs as well. They'll go into more detail for you in that forum. -------------- Blow Up The Outside World-Chris Cornell
