Alternately, if I am training for 12/31 then my long run as of 11/22 is only up to 9 miles. Therefore does it make more sense to start my training now, as if training for 11/22, and then tack on an adjusted 5 week schedule for 12/31? (that way I have a fallback if either of them don't happen) How would I adjust? Just repeat the last 5 weeks of the Higdon intermed schedule? Is that a reasonable thing to do or is it too much abuse? Too ambitious? An everyday piece of cake by the time I'm at that level?
When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
