When to start training for April marathon?

[joenali]

I'm kind half ass running right now 3-4 days a week, no real goal for each day other than to just run. So no speed work and no long runs. It's kind if nice!

When should I start an actual training plan. Is December too soon?

I started my MCM training the last week of June. The race was 10/27. My training was 18 weeks, which I like. So, no, I don't think December is too soon!

I don't think that's too soon.

I'm starting up in Feb/March for my June marathon.

I think December sounds about right. I started my Feb marathons training plans in Oct. They're typically 16 wks.

I plan to start training for my Apr. 21st race right around Christmas.

I'll start training for my 4/21 race in mid December.

I'm crossing my fingers for a mild Winter!

I have a Half in May and plan on training after the holidays.

I'm doing Paris Marathon (6 April) and I'm starting now getting some miles in the bank, but proper plan commences December.
