Anyone can run 20 miles. It's the next six that count.

2009 marathon schedule


2009 Marathon schedule.
I hope to keep as close as possible to this schedule.
I have not put any weeks into the schedule that the mileage goes more then 55 miles.
This is not a hardened rule but lots of runners have advised me that it’s not as much the quantity of miles that makes the difference but the quality of the miles you do.
Keeping this in mind I plan on mixing up my training during the week with speed, hill and interval training.
Anyway fingers crossed. This plan starts on the 6th of July and the target marathon is Dublin on the 26th of October.
At the moment I don’t have a target marathon time but closer to the time I will target a particular time.
If anybody has suggestions just send them on. I fully believe in listening to people who have done it all before.

Thanks
Paudie
