Thanks. In the following, your 2-month marathon training plan as requested:

1.  Gradually increase your weekly running distance, aiming for 25-30 km by the end of the first month.
    
2.  Include interval training, such as alternating fast and slow paces, to boost endurance and speed.
    
3.  Integrate hill repeats into your training to build strength and prepare for any hills in the marathon.
    
4.  Schedule one long run each week, starting at around 20 km and increasing to 35 km by the end of the second month.
    
5.  Engage in cross-training activities, such as cycling, swimming, or strength training, 1-2 times per week to enhance overall fitness and reduce injury risk.
    
6.  Ensure adequate rest and nutrition to support your training.
    
7.  Gradually decrease your training intensity and mileage in the final two weeks leading up to the marathon, allowing your body to fully recover and be ready for race day.
    

Listen to your body and make any necessary adjustments to the plan. Good luck with your marathon!
