The best advice for marathon training is planning your workouts months ahead and gradually building miles up. Your also want to do resistance training since your need to carry your body for 26.2 miles so your muscles need to be in strong shape.
Steamrooms, saunas are a good way to relax. Also run in the pool and cross train for instance on the elliptical or bike. It’s good to take short breaks once in a while especially training for long intervals such as 3 mile X 2 with 1 minute walk breaks and working up to 3 miles X 3 with 1 minute walk breaks. Run on grass or cross country courses to save your legs from the cement.
