How long does it take the average runner to train for a marathon to qualify for the Boston marathon?
So I think I'm an okay runner and hopefully could improve a lot. I haven't run much in the last 6 weeks. Do you think I could qualify for Boston at the Austin marathon February 20th? I have run 2 half marathons in the past, but I didn't train that hard. My time for a half-marathon I did in February was 1:56. I don't know much about marathons and how fast a person can improve. A comfortable pace for me right now for 2 to 6 miles is about 9-9:30 minutes per mile.
I would have to run the Austin marathon in 3:40 (8:23 minutes per mile)
Thanks in advance!

Heck, even a number of people who qualify do not sign in in time previously it fills up now. and that they do have a surprisingly sturdy extensive form who run as charity entries, and so on., who are available nicely in the back of the traditional qualifying circumstances. They prevalent qualifying circumstances interior the 1st place because of the fact that's an historic race on a special direction and maximum of had to run it. They necessary to decrease the entries -- it wasn't fairly with reference to the qualifying time, even with the undeniable fact that it fairly is of direction the main situation people concentration on now in view which you at the instant are not working the priority devoid of it (often). besides, sure, i might take the supply. it would be to run the historic direction, and it does not be like i could be the final to end, the two (not with each and every of the charity runners, and so on.). It does not be taking the straightforward way out, yet i does not bypass bluffing approximately qualifying or some thing the two.
