Preparing for a marathon can actually be fun. For our purposes, a good 5k or 10K run is sufficient; if you want one of the longer ones you are going to need to look into getting an actual coach. Make sure that you go in with some support and you should do well.
Don't make the mistake of thinking you need to do the whole thing at once. For most people get used to running a mile and then increase your weekly run by a mile until you have the right distance.
Otherwise, you'll want to vary runs between two and three miles a day. It may sound long, but you are looking at about twenty to forty minutes of non-stop running each day. It's not as bad as it sounds and you may learn to enjoy the chance for a little meditation each day.
Keep in mind that you are looking at more of a jog than a sprint. Although you may sprint at various parts of the run, overall it should be a jog. Suffice the last quarter-mile will be slower in order to act as a cool-down period.
