I need some serious advice about my marathon training (for my 1st full). I was planned on using Higdons Intermediate I program but when I seriously started looking at it, I dont like the mileage at the beginning.<br>
My current schedule with little variation is: M(swim) T(5-6 miles) W(5 miles) T(rest) F(6 miles) S(5 miles) S(9-10 miles)<br><br>
Hals Plan (for me) looks like this (with minor modifications towards the end to fit in a HM). My concerns are that it isnt until week 7 that I am doing anything really different than what I currently do. Should I just keep my normal routine up until then. Later in the plan, is it really necessary to drop the mileage on some of my midweek runs? Does this help with completing a longer long run? Or should I tweak the whole schedule and move it up (ie start at week 5 and throw in some longer runs toward the end (I already had to move the final 20 mile run a week later so it didnt conflict with my HM. Help me! <img alt="confused.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/confused.gif"><br><br><img alt="" src="http://i16.tinypic.com/6hd6lpd.jpg" style="border:0px solid;">
