16 3 3 Walk 3 Marathon 35.2
pretty light compared to a lot of programs with only 4 runs a week
but still it takes alot of you time.
if it’s a road marathon just make sure you do a fair chunk (not all) on the road, build up gently
and get some good shoes!
you’ll love it, when it’s over anyway 😉
but give it a week or two after and you may well be planning the next…
good luck.
