Alternatively, what do you want to achieve / do you have a specific (time) goal in mind, or is the mara a means to a broader end (better all round fitness, 10k/HM etc..)? The answers to those questions will give you your starting parameters and from then it's a question of working out the details of the programme - RW is good, Hal Higdon, Pfitzinger & Douglas etc. etc. - but you'll find most decent mara training schedules share critical features: aerobic base building, LRs, LT work / long intervals to build speed endurance and sharpening/tapering phase. Once you choose - load it up into your training plan, and let the collective wisdom of fetch comment and advise... you'll find we're an opinionated crew!
