What is a basic beginner marathon 'training schedule'?

A basic beginner training schedule is obviously running very short distances, walking short distances, run/walk short distances, or run short distances. And so in a typical program, the first week might be thirty minutes four days a week. The second week forty minutes. The third week fifty minutes. The fourth week one hour. And you build up using time really more than mileage. And when you get up to about an hour and a half to two hours then you can pick a mileage, and that would probably be in the eight, nine mile area. And then of course you'd want to go up one mile a week as you progress up to mile twenty.
