My friend was running it one year with the same goal of under 4 ... and sure enough I do believe he was 3:59:58 or something like that. Hopefully you'll have good weather. I hear last year people were actually having chunks of ice form in their hair while running.

As for marathon training, my experience has been that more 20 milers is better, but with plenty of recovery time in between. I would go with a 5 month plan so you can get several in but still have plenty of time in between them so that you aren't skirting injury. Good luck - can't wait to follow your progress!Teri S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11954569552206404537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-380814363019932734.post-56205161671624585962010-08-06T18:43:48.471-05:002010-08-06T18:43:48.471-05:00Hi Leah,

We can do this! <br /><br />Good luck with your training, I did five the first time around and am only doing 4 this time, so we'll both see how it works out.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08824035353538721352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-380814363019932734.post-61677965281544190832010-08-06T16:23:27.314-05:002010-08-06T16:23:27.314-05:00Hi Leah B!

Hubs did the Disney Marathon years ago and it's his favorite race he's ever done! We're HUGE Disney fans!!! I've done the half a few times, also. Good luck on your training! I'm a runner who took a few months off, but now I'm back full force!

I have only run five marathons and I am leaning to a shorter training cycles long as you have solid base miles I think you can do a 16 week program.

Just stay focused and listen to your body. Ease up when you're feeling tired and take advantage of all the lessons you learned from the last cycle.Jen Feenyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12857381064146340597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-380814363019932734.post-30531376933641306682010-08-05T16:54:52.734-05:002010-08-05T16:54:52.734-05:00You are awesome.
