I might sooner run circles in a basement than venture outside for that. <br /><br />I also bring a pillow in case I'm too tired to drive after a long run.Spikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04954768449359026865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838911823399772442.post-79693078620327123632009-07-20T12:11:40.263-05:002009-07-20T12:11:40.263-05:00great list, way to go with the 70 mile weeks and t...great list, way to go with the 70 mile weeks and twice a days. high miles made my last marathon faster.<br /><br />actually looking forward to starting marathon training, once the heat breaks.Old Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14796296042415354673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838911823399772442.post-37662697714841725942009-07-18T12:12:27.542-05:002009-07-18T12:12:27.542-05:00I beg to differ on #19.

The weekday mileage stays the same the first week with a long run reduction from 20 to 16--54 total miles that week. The 2nd week has a reduction of week day miles, a long run of 10--28 total miles for the week. Race week is 6 miles easy, 2 at race pace, 3 easy, 3 easy, short jog, then race day. <br />They included carbohydrate loading the last 3 days before race.<br /><br />I'm glad you did the high mileage program so I can see if it makes a difference like the coaches said it would! Your high mileage goes right along with what they taught us. <br /><br />Was this a huge increase in mileage from your other marathon training plans? How many 20's did you do? You should theoretically PR in this marathon!!RunnerMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10256586100139898901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838911823399772442.post-53185732707864072882009-07-18T09:44:52.206-05:002009-07-18T09:44:52.206-05:00Very nice!
