Where Would You Add Lifting to Daniels Marathon Plan

...++++ lifting ... crazy stuff... Just run more.

Try to do a little something everyday. The days to really hit it hard would be right after your harder efforts. So Monday and Friday.

This but ill add limiting your leg exercises to right after your monday and friday Q sessions so they're as rested as can be for the next Q. Eat a quick light meal between Q and ur resistance workouts.

Thank you.

You are 5’10”, 135 pounds running 65 mpw and you can’t break 3 hours in the marathon? That seems almost impossible. What the hell kind of terrible runner are you? Do you have two legs?

Good advice so far here. Do core and heel drops almost every day. Lift on the 2 hard days, and once you adapt to that, you can maybe add a third lifting day. Before you add hill sprints, make sure you are doing strides at least 2 days per week, preferably before your hard days.

Thanks guys, sounds like core and heel drops most days, then lift lower body just on hard days and maybe work in a third lifting day when I can do it without getting too tired for the hard workouts.

I love the trolls too. LRC All Stars at their finest. Wouldn’t have it any other way. But, some day I will shave those five minutes from my marathon time and go from terrible to merely acceptable! I will have my revenge.
