Wow, intermediate, that's GREAT !! I'm sticking with the novice plan since this is the first time I'll actually follow a regulated training plan .. I could probably opt for the novice II, but coming off this foot surgery, I'm setting my sights pretty low ...
Not only that .. but my new job will have me working the 9-6 shift, so I have to run in the AMs starting in October .. the novice I plan has more lower mileage runs during the week that would fit my work schedule a bit better.
Ugh .. work ... always gets in the way, doesn't it ?
Rich, do you feel that a formulated training plan is really an advantage in a marathon? This is my first, so I'm not sure. When I ran the last two marathons, I trained "on my own" .. working up to a 20+ miler a few weeks before....I just wanted your input on whether a "plan" is better than going it on your own?
