This Week in Running – I Need a Plan

Marathon Training Plan Adjustments Mid-Training, Yay or Nay?

This is kind of a spontaneous post asking for the opinion of other runners out there. I started a 16 week training plan based on an article in Runner's World about the "Run less, run faster" training plan, aka FIRST. The article had a generic marathon training plan that was solely based on a 10k …
