You probably need at least 14 weeks to prepare, at minimum. If you try to ramp up that fast you are going to injure yourself.

Even a half marathon at 40 days would be pushing it a bit - you would have to have a lot of built in walks for the half

I remember watching a buzzfeed video on YouTube on a girl running her first marathon with 10 weeks of training with a running coach by her side and even that is crazy. Like everybody said, don't do it. I'm training for one in the end of Sept and have done a few halfs, but training for a marathon is a whole different beast. Really think on this and look up training schedules
