Welcome to Marathon Training!

I start my official marathon training this week. I have a mixed feelings of hope, fear, nervousness and anticipation for the next 18 weeks. The program is based off of Hal Hidgons' intermediate training plan. It features three low weeks of twenty-six miles and two high weeks of fifty miles. It builds in atleast two rest days a week. Week one is a nice way ease into the program slowly ramping up the mileage. The program offers three twenty mile runs, two of which fall the day the following a ten mile run.

Week 1 Plans
Sunday - Cross Train
Monday - 3 Miles
Tuesday - 5 Miles
Wednesday - 3 Miles
Thursday - 4 Miles
Friday - Rest
Saturday - 10 Miles
