Since it seems to be going well so far, I'll share the training plan I'm using for Cellcom Green Bay Half Marathon in May. It's the Runner's World Break 1:45 half marathon plan, which I found on their site as a PDF (but they now charge $30). Contact me if you want a copy.
It's a 10-week plan that assumes a base of about 30 miles per week. I filled in two weeks at the beginning as a ramp-up, and have been enjoying the plan so far. It's aggressive (for me) in both pace and mileage, and I'm optimistic that it'll put me in a place to meet my 1:45 goal. Here's the plan with some adjustments for my own schedule.
With Cellcom coming right up, I've been working on a training plan that will take me through Canal Run in July to Marquette Marathon in September, with some of the other stuff I'm doing in the meantime (a bike tour and a couple of bike races). Here's what I have now, based on something between Higdon's Intermediate 2 and Advanced 1 marathon plans.
Four weeks after Marquette Marathon is Twin Cities Marathon. So do I just stop running and eat cheetos in between? Higdon has a nice plan for not doing that.
See you out there!
