Here’s my plan based on Hal Higdon’s novice program. The week numbers still should have links to his site with a description for each day. If you are starting a running program I would definately suggest checking out his site.

RACE |
35.2 |
Some of the mileage during the week is slightly different until about midway through the training so I wouldn’t run my mileage up too quickly. Normal people, without screwed up shins like mine, could do the normal program. I kept the long runs the same, except for one, though so I’ve followed Hal’s rule of “not cheating on the long runs”, I think.
I will probably be adding in a 10K and 7/17 and a 10 mile race on 8/28. Its a real pain to put tables in here because if you have a line return, blogger adds an extra line in your table. So the HTML needs to be in a big long string. I write the table in Netscape Composer and then copy the HTML, but I have to put it into Word first and remove all the returns to make it a string. Needless to say, changing one entry means redoing the whole table.
The border on the table came out awful.
