Planning on running L.A. Marathon

I plan on running the 2005 L.A. Marathon for the first time.
I am in my early 20s so I would like to try a few times before I get older.

Any recommendations and advice on how to prepare for the big run - diet/exercise preparation/physical endurance, etc.

And if you know a great site about marathon preparations, please let me know. Thanks a lot.
 
first of all cool, you are serious about running and you want to take it to the next step.
good site for running preparations is:


you have there training Schedules of 5k,10k, half marathon and marathon.

good luck and the most important
HAVE FUN
 
1) What type of a running shoes should I look for? Or can I visit Footaction/Footlocker and buy any $50 cross-training shoes?
Some Saucony shoes goes over $100 for a pair and that seems too much for my budget.


2) Any advice on how to prepare a new diet for cross-training?
 
running shoes - LA marathon

once again me.
Did you try to go tu running snail store? they would recommend you the best shoes - based on your weight, hight and running style.

For a first marathon is good Hunington Beach marathon on south OC which is perfect for beginners and is nice as well.

Anyhow good luck with it! I am trying for Prague international marathon 2005:)
