Given that, it seems like that HH novice 2 plan is not a bad starting point but I could increase the milage a bit of the 3 mid-week runs to get a bit lower % of the long run and to adapt to that my current weekly average volume is larger than the first 6-7 weeks of the plan. The event will be in Buenos Aires, should be around 20 degrees and not too humid that time a year. I am ready to skip the time goal, I really really want to avoid getting injured (I already feel sore in my knees during my 10-15 mile runs, it goes away when I stop though ) and I would like to enjoy as much as possible the day. I have weeks where I can do 10-12 hours of training and other weeks where I only get to like 7-9 hours due to time constrains. On the other hand it is probably not bad to build up slowly and it would leave room for biking and swimming too. My main concern is that the weekly milage seems a bit low (up to~week 7 it is lower than my current weekly milage ). I am considering Hal Higdons novice 2 program 18 weeks ( ). Make me finish the marathon in below 4 hrs and make it an enjoyable and fun experience (key objective is to finish but I do not want to be too slow either ).Get me injury free through the training and the race as it is my "B" race, "A" race will be a HIM in january 2012.I am looking for a good training program that would: I did a half marathon early Abril in 1h52m (slow I know ) and I run about 30-45 kms per week (could have more base, I know, but this is what it is ).
I am not a couch runner but not a complete beginner either. Also, this weekend I may be running at a local conservation area, which has me super excited.I have signed up for a marathon on Oct 9 2011. I am seriously pumped for tomorrows run though, I have some awesome new running tunes to try out. I almost considered just starting the 10km novice program since I am signing up for a 10KM race in October, but that will be the next goal. I need to sit down and figure out what I’m going to change. I realize it’s assuming someone hasn’t run before, and wants to start with 8km, and while I am in no way intermediate, I think I want to push it a little harder. You don’t even run 8km before the end with the novice. I think I’m going to integrate some of the intermediate 8km training in with the novice program I printed off. I need to use it as my ‘me’ time and forget that I’m doing repetitive movements, and work hard and love it again. I actually love it more than cardio in some ways. (Should be back in the basement by Wednesday!) Strength training feels amazing, I don’t know why I’ve always fallen off that wagon.
We’re currently renovating the basement, where I work out, so today I did my strength and stretching in the office.
