Is this possible?

[glo0205]

does anyone think it is possible to do a 25k in 3 wks when you have just started running? If not how much time should one train to do this?

Possible... yes, depending on your current fitness level. Knowing what I know, if I'd just started training I personally wouldn't try doing that. I'd probably give myself 4-6months of solid training just to take a crack at it.

I'm not sure what you mean by just started running. If you mean you just started running more than a mile....then you are in for a world of hurt if you run a 25K in three weeks.

I guess it's possible if you are a fitness buff....but unless you are in great shape, you will not do well.

You should be able to properly train for 16 miles in about 8 weeks.

That's just my experience.......
