It's totally doable. I can email it to you if you like, a friend gave it to me, it's a training plan for Boston.<br /><br />Gabby is the cutest.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00144512028031455208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992448392811623347.post-23688726228863159142011-09-21T14:03:34.711-07:002011-09-21T14:03:34.711-07:00Was she one of the honored heros?

The thing about marathon ...I echo what Lesley said. The thing about marathon training is that most people will do better on race day if they have a larger endurance base, meaning that they log a lot of miles. Most coaches will tell you somewhere between 40-60/week is ideal. The easiest way to do this without constantly having to run 10+ miles a day, is to run more days per week. Can it be done on less miles/days? Yes. But you have to figure out if you'd rather give up more hours on fewer days, or fewer hours on more days. Honestly, it works out to be about the same.<br /><br />Not sure that helped you at all.TMB @ RACING WITH BABEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670409852045798697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992448392811623347.post-16040058033803430812011-09-21T11:51:02.015-07:002011-09-21T11:51:02.015-07:00I wonder if I should run....I wonder if I should run....Biker Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04572867941054429158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992448392811623347.post-69212638424673692782011-09-21T11:24:04.963-07:002011-09-21T11:24:04.963-07:00I can't comment on pictures. :( I'll try t...I can't comment on pictures. :( I'll try to come back and see them though!<br /><br />Seattle ... I am 100% there for at least 13.1. I cannot commit to 26.2. Right now I just have NO desire to run a full marathon .... and the thought of the Seattle full terrifies the goatse out of me! (Oh yeah, just made a new phrase!) But this will be perhaps the most epic of blogger meet-ups! And I want #1 to come... because I am stalking her.<br /><br />I haven't ruled out all the BIG peer pressure though. At a minimum I can be part of Team Jam through mile 9 when the course splits. The fact that I have totally ruled it out is huge, FYI!Fruit Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10747205899650070873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992448392811623347.post-37498612030217481102011-09-21T11:03:46.620-07:002011-09-21T11:03:46.620-07:00I will deny responsibility for the peer pressure, ...I will deny responsibility for the peer pressure, but I'm glad you passed it on.<br /><br />About a coach... I think a coach's job is to listen to your desires, and that includes days per week. I have girls that run 3 days and others that run 6. All of them requested the number of days per week, although I do occassionally make recommendations (usually in the case of they are trying to to 10 other things and I think they need to fit in appropriate rest). <br /><br />Doing two 5-weeks apart... yes, of course you can. You might have to change your expectations and what your goals are (like you might need to give up some speed for miles to fit it in the lower days)... you probably won't want to run both super hard, etc. But you can TOTALLY do this. Even first marathons. You're pretty good about sticking to a schedule.<br /><br />As to whether or not you *need* a coach, I think that's just a personal decision. I think you can get it done either way, one way might be a little more successful than the other with your life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992448392811623347.post-6285287326110406832011-09-21T10:55:00.979-07:002011-09-21T10:55:00.979-07:00#2... ha.

(PS, I can't believe registration isn't even open yet...)<br /><br />Also. My opinion still stands about the RLRF marathon program being a good idea for you... or you can stick with the HM program and just swap out the long runs... I think it is great if you are on limited time.Beckahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10260238987157763316noreply@blogger.com
