My friend Phil from my home brew club, who runs 2-3 Marathons a year and is starting to do Iron Man competitions, shared his knowledge and 4 work out programs that he has used. The training programs from Hal Higdon's 'How to Train' ranged from Novice (that is me)to Intermedate, Intermediate II (not Me) and Expert(definatly not me). So I looked at the calendar and counted back my 18 weeks to get my timeline of training together. My old friend the Annapolis 10 Miler even fits in perfect with my training as it turns out I need a 10 mile long run that weekend. Now I just need to make time for all of this running it looks like it is going to cut severly into my beer drinking time.

It's not a sprint, it is a Marathon.
The calendar has been marked for the beginning of my Marine Corps Marathon training. I have been running my normal off-and-on but as of Junes 26th that will need to be a focused regiment to end at the goal of 26.2 miles on October 30th.

I think I'll borrow this training plan, too. (Last year my plan was, more or less: run longer each weekend. Try not to heat stroke. Sometimes run shorter. It was very technical. ;) )
ReplyDeleteYeah MCM!
Mo, if you want copies of the Itermediates and expert plans too drop me an e-mail.
