    I was wondering about which Marathon plan you marathoners follow. What did you think of it and would you follow the same plan again

    For my first two (only done 2) it was just getting the miles in the 2nd more miles more regularity did improve time by about 43 minutes

    I did train for 2 more marathons but had to withdraw from both one with injury (too much running on the treadmill in bad weather) i was following a Jack Daniels Plan which i did enjoy. and this year due to family reasons had to withdraw but i was just getting the miles in again due to a bad winter really started building my base again too late

    Next marathon will be next April so plenty of time

    This is from Hanson's Plan. However, There does not seem to be enough miles, so I simply increase the Sunday long run.

    BTW - I am just an average runner. 42 years old. I have run approximately 10 marathons. My times range from 2:51 - 3:10

    Hanson sixteen week training program:

    MON.- 6 miles build up to 8 miles

    TUE.- speed/strength (I run anywhere from 400 meter repeats to 1 mile repaeats)

    Wed.- off

    THU.- Tempo runs 6 miles build up to 10 miles. (tempo runs are at marathon goal pace)

    FRI.- 6 or 7 mile run

    SAT.- 6 miles build up to 10 miles

    SUN.- 8 miles build up to 16 miles (again I increase the miles and build up to a 22 mile run - One week may be a 20 mile run, the next week I will cut back to 16 miles, following week back up to 21 miles. I can get three 20+ long runs in during a 16 week training schedule)
