If you are training for a 40-mile race will running approximately 5 miles a day be good training?

In: Exercise, Weightlifting [Edit categories]

Answer:

If you have any interest in running 40 miles, you will need to develop minimum of a 1 year program to develop the strength and allow your body to adapt to that stress.

Do you currently run? If so, how much? Have you ever completed a 10k, half marathon or full marathon?

In addition to your training program, you will need to get your nutrition and recovery dialed in too.
