This is the new training plan to get ready for the Goodlife Fitness Victoria Marathon in October. It is a modified version of the plan in the book The Non-Runner’s Marathon Trainerby David A. Whitset, Forrest A. Dolgener, and Tanjala Mabon Kole. The days are a bit different because I had to work around my full-time schedule of shift work. Feel free to use this plan or modify it if you want, just know that I haven’t tested it yet, so you use it at your own risk. In other words, if it sucks, I’m sorry, but don’t sue me.
I’ve included the “week ending” date to help those that are following along. Trust me, if I don’t follow the plan, for good or bad, I’ll be talking about that on my regular posts! That being said, I have put in a reminder to myself to re-evaluate this plan in about 6 weeks. 16 weeks isn’t very long to get ready for another marathon, so at the end of the 6 weeks, if I find that I’m struggling, or I’m falling behind, I will re-vamp the plan and do the half-marathon instead.
