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.

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 5.0

Super app, but folders in playlist please! (5 stars)
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 I'd like to see is the ability to k

Needs fusion (3 stars)
I used this to train for my first marathon. The training advice and info was great but I used runtastic pro for during my run. It gives more info, more frequent in my ear during the run. The user interface at runtastic is better too. Only problem is runtastic has no training program. If Hal had his training program on runtastics application, ahhhh perfection!

Excellent program (5 stars)
I've used Hal Higdon's program every time I've trained for a marathon since 2003. This will be my sixth race this June using his training. This will be the first one I've 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.

It's a novice program, so if you want to incorporate sprints
