This proven 20 week plan is designed for true beginner/novice runners who want to train for a marathon, but have very little running experience. This run/walk program is perfect for newcomers, as the walk breaks help mentally break up the race into segments, so you can focus on one section at a time. These breaks help make the marathon less grueling, as well as reduces the overall impact and risk of injury.
But don’t think that just because walking is involved that your time will be slower, or that you're accomplishing less. Many veteran runners have posted personal best times after switching to this run walk method! By using a ratio of running and walking, you can manage your fatigue which gives you the muscle resource and mental confidence to handle the later parts of the race.
Slowly build strength and stamina and the blend of walking and running together reduces the overall impact and risk of injury. By the end of the program, you will be READY for your 26.2 (42k) race!

Comments on Marathon Trainer - 26.2 42K for Android
★★★★☆Trav Ayers· Jan 13, 2023
Came here after graduating from C25K. Love the intervals and the training. Mostly came to ask when marathon or half-marathon trainer will come to the pixel watch. I need longer runs and want to leave my phone at home.
★★★★☆Anthony Snider· Dec 24, 2021
It was good until my final run and app crashed of rep 25 of 26!!!
★★★★★Rafa H· Jul 21, 2025
The pace set by this program is super helpful. I've never run before and within a couple of weeks, I'm running 3 miles 3x week with a long run on Saturday. I can't believe how fast I am developing
★★★★★Jennifer Smith· Feb 25, 2024
This is a great program that has helped me achieve my running goals. I like how there is an option to listen to music and how you can easily transfer the program to another one, such as from half to full marathon. I would totally recommend this program.

Awful app. Has 0 functionality unless you pay a subscription fee, except for a 7-day trial for some unknown plan that they provide absolutely no explanations for.
★☆☆☆☆Rhiannon Wheeler· Aug 20, 2023
This is useless!! I want a training program for an entire marathon! Not one that jumps from run/walk intervals for 6 miles, to run/walk intervals for 26 miles, in one week! This is the exact same app as the also useless half-marathon, except extended out for 20 weeks. The 10k app actually has good progression, I was expecting more out of this one.
★☆☆☆☆John Midgley· Oct 31, 2020
I, too, purchased this full app, and it has null and void my purchase and has gone to subscription with updates. Not what I paid for
