12 miles at easy pace, AP 8:35 followed by strides and cool down for another mile.

This week my focus is long, slow running.  I can't believe it is April.  It's race month!

Is there a place where you have written down the entire training program? I've been looking, and I haven't seen it.

It's been really great watching you go through it. You're going to have a great race.

I haven’t exactly put it to paper. It’s more in my head but basically it is a 13 week training plan with 3, 3-week blocks. After each of the first 2 3-week blocks there is a recovery week. After the last one the 2-week taper begins. The first and third week of each block has a fast finish long run with the fast running simulating the marathon course and mile repeats. Also 2 easy days running finishing with strides and 2 recovery days running which are even slower than easy days that finish with core work. On the middle week I replace the fast finish long run with a traditional long slow run and the mile repeats with 2 mile repeats at about 20 seconds per mile fast than mp. That’s the gist of it.
