How many half marathons should you run before training for a full?
I just did my first ever half marathon last month. I felt good after but was SO SORE (as to be expected). I now have motivation to do a full marathon, but ideally want it to be in the fall (IYKYK...winter running sucks, even in the southeast). I am not sure if it would be smart for me to aim for a marathon this fall. But I feel like next fall is so far away!
So ideally, how many half marathons should I have under my belt before taking on the feat of a full marathon? How do you know you are ready to start ramping up training?
