My training schedule is actually two half marathon training guides. I do have a half marathon that I am looking at which is on August 28 (called the Top of Utah Marathon) but the half marathon that I am training for is the Lake Tahoe Marathon. The LTM is on Sept. 26. That means I have 20 weeks from last Sunday to prepare. (YIKES!) I went online and found two training guides, one is 8 weeks long and the other is 12 weeks long. Since the 8 week long guide is from a magazine and the 12 week guide from a seasoned and well known marathoner I am first doing the 8 week guide to get into the habit and form the ability to be able to run 13.1 miles. Once that 8 weeks is up I will be able to take advantage of the 12 week guide to push myself and make me a better runner.
Since 8 and 12 equal 20 it was the perfect combination of training guides to be able to get me to the half marathon, HOWEVER, I am having to start the 1st week of the 8 week guide half way through the week since I should have started last Sunday... no biggie, I only missed 2 workouts. Here is the training schedule:
