Marathon Training Program.

It was a dark and stormy night... Or: The night was moist.
Either would be a mundane start to a story (From: any Peanuts cartoon, and Throw Mama From the Train respectively), or a description of the weather here in Chicago tonight. It's crazy out there right now. Hot, humid and uncomfortable. Also pouring down rain, with thunder/lightning storms right outside the window. Those are always fun to watch/listen to. I'm up having some pizza and beer while watching M*A*S*H reruns. It really is a great show. Radar is my favorite.
Anyway, i came across an old marathon training schedule while cleaning out my desk at work. It reminded me that i was going to post my 'patented-but not recommended to anyone-10 week marathon training schedule'. I have never really gone back to look at them, and was pleased to see that they were somewhat similar.
As I say, these plans are not recommended for anyone, and it should be noted that I had a solid running base (i.e. quality miles) before attempting.
So, without further ado, here's a way to run a marathon, with only 10 weeks notice!
week -- Long Run Miles
1 ------ 6 - or - 6
2 ------ 10 - or - 12
3 ------ 14 - or - 14
4 ------ 13.5 -or - 17
5 ------ 12 - or - 11
6 ------ 17 - or - 14
7 ------ 20 - or - 20
8 ------ 14 - or - 12
9 ------ 9 - or - 2
10 ----- 26.2 - or - 26.2

The "or" column represents the second time i ran the 10 week plan. (It should be noted i got sick on the 9th week the second time, and hence only got 2 miles in [but also should be noted that i ended up running my fastest time ever (PR of 3:13:14) so maybe that rest week helped!]).

Results may vary.
