Get ready for your first Marathon by training with Hal Higdon the best known running author and athlete. His training programs have helped thousands reach their running goals, and this marathon app will help you get to the starting line with confidence.

Hal Higdons many accomplishments include:

* Author of 35 books, including the best-selling Marathon: The Ultimate Training Guide and a new novel, Marathon
* Completed 111 marathons winning four overall as well as numerous age-group firsts

ABOUT THE TRAINING PLAN - NOVICE 1
This Novice 1 Marathon Training Program is designed both for beginning runners who want to prepare for their first 26.2-mile race, but also for experienced runners interested in a fail safe program that will allow them to excel without making excessive demands upon their time.

Novice 1 is designed for newcomers, individuals who have done very little or even no running before. If you are fit enough to finish the Week 1 long run of 6 miles--even if you have to walk the distance--Novice 1 will get you ready to complete a marathon in 18 weeks.

Before starting to train for a marathon, you need to possess a basic fitness level. If you are over age 35, you probably should see your doctor for a physical exam, but assuming no major health problems, most healthy people can train themselves to complete a 26.2-mile race.

The training plan assumes you have the ability to run 3 miles, three to four times a week. If that seems difficult, consider a shorter distance for your first race. You can try our best selling Ease into 5K app which will prepare you to run 3 miles three times a week.

* Novice 1 training plan
* Eighteen weeks long
* Run four days a week
* Cross train one day a week
* Rest two days a week
* Two regular runs a week + one long run each week
* Long runs range from 6 to 20 miles
* The plan finishes with the Marathon race day

Because this app needs accurate location information, this app requires a device with a GPS antenna, therefore the app works with iPhone 3G, 3GS, iPhone 4, and 4GS and is not compatible with the iPod touch.

Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Compatible with iOS 9.0, requires iOS 6.0 or greater.

Dont ask to rate during a run!

While out on a 5mile run training for a marathon. The app decides to ask me to rate it. I decline and the app just stops. My current run resets and music turned off. Maybe dont ask to rate the app during a run. I wasnt going to rate it, but now you get a bad review because of it...

Calendar is not correct

Use MapmyRun instead... Everything in this app can be found online for free. Also, if you are in decent shape, you might want to find a shorter program. 18 weeks can be too much.

Cant log manual runs!!!!

Support is great. I emailed to try and resolve the entering of manual runs. You can do it, its just not totally user friendly.

This app is superb!

Ive been using it to train for my first marathon, which is coming up in 2 weeks. This app has everything I could possibly need. The mapping function which lets you see your per-mile pace is my favorite part. I would highly recommend this app and training plan to any novice marathoner.

Just Finished my 1st Marathon

Just finished my first marathon today using this app. I would say that I felt well prepared by this program!

Super app, but folders in playlist please!

I started this program a few weeks ago and have been thrilled with this app. Although the motivational comments may be distracting while running/ chatting with a partner, they break up the monotony of solo running. The milage updates allow me to run unfamiliar routes without constantly checking my gps. Each run is mapped and recorded so I can remember and return to favorite routes. The only improvement Id like to see is the ability to keep seperate playlists in the music library so I dont get tired of the same songs and change up genres between workouts. Great app!

Excellent program

Ive used Hal Higdons program every time Ive trained for a marathon since 2003. This will be my sixth race this June using his training. This will be the first one Ive trained for using the app and it works exactly as advertised. I went from struggling to run 2 miles to finishing my first marathon in 3:45 over an 18 week period when I have previously used this program. Its a novice program, so if you want to incorporate sprints and hill work look online for his intermediate and advanced programs online. Also, be flexible with your workout schedule. If you know you race is on a Sunday incorporate an extra rest day to lengthen the program by one day. Too easy.
