"I've been following Eddy's improvement over the last two years on this site, and it's been pretty dang solid. Sure the weekly mileage has been up and down, but over the long haul he's getting out the door and has turned himself into quite a runner. He's only now just figuring out his potential. Consistency in running is measured in years, not weeks. And over the last couple of years, Eddy's made great strides" Jeff 14 Jan 2009

Will (I) have sufficient time to start my training plan on Jan 01?
I was speaking to somoeone and he advised at least 10 x 20+milers. How do you guys think?

Why need a plan at all?

There will be plenty of time to beat the crap out of yourself and set stretch time goals for subsequent marathons, but you only get one first. Just my two cents, best of luck to you however you proceed.
