Can you please create a training plan for my upcoming marathon, which is in 2 months?

Sure, I'd be happy to help you with a basic training plan for your upcoming marathon. Here's a basic 8-week plan that gradually increases mileage and includes speed work and rest days. It assumes that you are currently able to run for approximately 30 minutes without stopping.

Week 1-4:
Monday: 2 miles easy
Tuesday: Cross-training (swim, bike, yoga, etc.) Wednesday: 4 miles easy
Thursday: Rest Day
Friday: 5 miles easy
Saturday: 6 miles long run
Sunday: Rest Day

Week 5-8:
Monday: 3 miles easy
Tuesday: Cross-training (swim, bike, yoga, etc.) Wednesday: 6 miles easy
Thursday: Rest Day
Friday: 7 miles easy
Saturday: 8 miles long run
Sunday: Rest Day

Regarding speed work, you can alternate every other week between speed work and cross-training. On your speed work days, you can perform fartlek, tempo runs, or intervals.

Remember, it's always essential to listen to your body, take necessary rest days and adjust the plan based on your body's response. If you follow a well-planned training routine and maintain a healthy lifestyle, you will make it to the finish line without an issue. Wishing you all the luck!
