A comment on Ask HN: How did you train for your 1st Full Marathon?. Parent comment
* focus on good running form. (Research opinions about what that is.)
* cross-train: go for a swim; do some upper body weights, etc.
* practice using some of the gear that you plan on using on marathon day: for instance, carry the same water bottle.
* choose a route for your long run such that you can refill your water at key points.
* include some hill work: don't run on flat courses.
* on long runs, carry some money so you can get home if you get into trouble
* don't overdress: you will have to shed layers as you get hot, and carrying the extra clothing for miles and miles will be a burden.
* Use vaseline to fend off skin chafing, and experiment with different clothing if it's a nagging problem.
