What’s the best way to train for the London Marathon?

By running a given distance every other day, that distance should be what you are comfortable with. Then gradually build it up, ensuring you are eating a healthy nutritious diet. Keep up the running and gradually increase the distance and also the speed that you can complete say 5k and 10k runs.

an important bit is to chose running shoes that you are comfortable with, also socks, shorts and a method to keep hydrated while running, decent headphones can help but obviously safety is a thing.

it is also worth getting a running partner or join a running club, being social with others helps get you out running in all weathers,

learn what pre running and post running warm up and cool down exercises you need to do, these prevent niggling injuries.

Going to a decent running shop where they check your gait and let you try running in the shoes you want to use, is also a good starting point.
keep an eye on the condition of your running shoes, they do wear out and need replaced.

To train for a marathon it takes a commitment. It takes the human body to acclimate to running for a sustained period of time. You have to train intelligently, not increasing total weekly milage more than 10% a week. . EAt right and get plenty of sleep. You have to learn the signs of over training and how to work around injuries.

Do one long run per week. Wear good running shoes and but new ones if they get worn.

Develop good trunk muscles. It takes more than strong legs to run a marathon.

Try to make it fun,.
