<human>:  I want to start training for a marathon but I'm not sure what kind of running plan I should follow. What kind of plan should I use?
<bot>: A good place to start is a beginner running plan. This should include running a few days a week, with rest days in between. It is important to start slowly and gradually build up the distance and difficulty of your runs as your endurance increases. You should also incorporate stretching and conditioning exercises into your routine to help prevent injuries. Remember to listen to your body and rest when needed. Lastly, make sure to set realistic goals, and track your progress and celebrate your successes to stay motivated.
