Ana, if you can run for 3.5km, you're nearly there. I reckon that 3 miles (about 5km) is a good initial target. It took me 8 months to get there when I started.

Once you reach that level, you can run a marathon 4 or 5 months later (many of us have done it from such a start). However... it's not really advisable to aim for a marathon just yet. You're just putting unnecessary pressure on yourself.

A great target for a new runner is a 10km race. Why not see if there are any 10km races happening near Madrid over the next 6 months or so? There are probably several. Once you get there, you can think about longer distances.

Good luck!
