northernslowcoach Oct 2011 10:51pm, 24 Oct 2011 9,224 posts	Quote Pin northernslowcoach Yes, have looked at the hal plans Schnecke I guess I need to figure out what I can realistically commit to and plan around that Think I'll need to do pros and cons of the RW 4:15 plan and Hal's And lol at mere mortals, think my highest ever week was 46 Just trying to build back to 25-30 at the minute
hopetofinish Oct 2011 8:38am, 25 Oct 2011 84 posts	Quote Pin hopetofinish Will follow this thread with interest. My half time suggests a 4.30 marathon, but I am no where close. Good luck.
Roma Oct 2011 9:19am, 25 Oct 2011 192 posts	Quote Pin Roma Me too htf. I have a sub-2 half but am still 10 minutes over target for the full. I have followed a RW plan in the past, but have tweaked it now and follow my own, based on what events I want to fit in. My highest mileage weeks are around the 50 mark. Would be interested in alternative plans as mine obviously requires adjustment
Oatcake Oct 2011 12:13pm, 25 Oct 2011 160 posts	Quote Pin Oatcake You are doing better than me Coachie. I just had complete CBA weekend. Then I went for a run yesterday evening and felt sooooo much better - doh! I think I am going to follow a Hal Higdon plan, but increase the length of the weekday runs. I am convinced that increasing the weekday run distances makes the long run not so onerous, and makes me less injury prone. (this is all relative to current training )
Roma Oct 2011 2:45pm, 25 Oct 2011 193 posts	Quote Pin Roma Oatcake, I think you could be right. Looking at other plans, they usually include a longer midweek run. Could be the way to go
Smileybob Oct 2011 8:42pm, 25 Oct 2011 116 posts	Quote Pin Smileybob Hey All, Gonna follow this thread with interest. I'm no where near 4:30 but figure I should aim for something for the VLM

Smileybob Oct 2011 9:11pm, 25 Oct 2011 117 posts	Quote Pin Smileybob NSC, more than happy to join in! My 10k pace says I should be able to do 4:40 so defo worth aiming for!
Stander Oct 2011 10:50pm, 25 Oct 2011 5,075 posts	Quote Pin Stander Good luck with the 4:30. I'll break it one day (only 5:08 to lose) but am no where near the fitness I was at Malta so will be watching this thread with interest.
