So it is the first week of training if you are doing a 16 week schedule. Anyone care to share his/her training plan? I need to find some place that will host an excel spreadsheet to post mine. Any ideas? Okay I took care of that. Thanks google docs. Just click on the link called running schedule under my 2009 Goals if you care to see someone elses schedule.

Hey BC. Im going back to the full this year. Training has gone real well so far. Key to me is making it past the first couple months. Last month I got sick in Feb, and that derailed me. On an 18 week plan so Im a couple weeks into mine. Its modified from the Hal Higdon Intermediate 1 plan. Ive been trying for more mid-week miles.

Hey Murph What does your plan look like? Anyway to take a quick peak at it. I always like to see what other people plan to run. Everyone is so different I think you have to perfect your own plan. So far my plan has worked great <knock>. I'm really happy with it so far. I just hate that I feel so good so early. 16 weeks is soo long. One slip on ice and boom everything changes.</knock>

Hey John great looking plan. I was looking at your format and might change mine a little. I like how you have it organized. That looks like a lot of miles. The more you get the better prepared you will be I just don't think my body could handle all of those miles. If I go through my current plan injury free then I might revamp it for my Spring marathon to have more miles. Is your training going well? Looks like you are doing a decent job of staying up with your training schedule.

Just be carefull with adding in so many more miles. That is a huge jump from one month to another month. I think it is almost impossible to have a training period and not have some sort of running issue though. You just want to keep them minor.
