How to prepare for the Frankfurt Marathon?
To prepare for the Frankfurt Marathon, plan on about twelve weeks of training built around your target pace: with just 27 m of elevation gain, consistency pays off. The Frankfurt Marathon pacers guide runners from 2:59 to 5:29, and the cut-off time is 6 hours. Pack a windbreaker for October's 8 to 15°C temperatures, typical of the European Marathon Classics.
