This is a trail run. There is probably a mile that is flat. Rest of the time its either up or down.

I need to post the elevation profile of the marathon I'm attempting in june. Its stupid.

alright, so I want to prepare myself to run in a marathon. I've never ran in a marathon before and I'm giving myself plenty of time to prepare. I don't really have any specific timeline actually, because the first marathon I would want to run is 11 months away, The Shamrock Marathon in Va Beach that always happens St Patty's Day weekend. I worked for them during grad school.

But I don't want to wait 11 months either. I'm thinking like 100-120 days or so? I can run around 8 miles now pretty easily at an under 9 min pace, I just want to increase that to 26.2 miles. I'd love to finish within 4 hours. I'm not really concerned with making the 3:20 time to qualify for Boston just yet haha, but that would be an ultimate goal... Anyone got any good training schedules? I've looked up some, but I feel like I'm past the beginner stage which generally takes at least a half year to full year, but I'm not quite ready for the intermediate stage. Thanks in advance.

New kicks for tomorrow morning. Got a wild hair when I tried on the Mizuno wave.

You can do the Rock and Roll marathon I think in September if your looking for this Area? The OBX Marathon is in November and is one of the best to run. As for a guide just google Hal Higdon marathon training. He does 8/12/24 week scheds.

Big Sur will get that out of your system.

thanks for the tips... The VA Beach Rock N Roll is only a half, but I might run it just to do it (assuming I get back from here in Afghanistan in time) and then continue to improve and maybe do the OBX. There's a really good chance I'll be back here in again in January so I would have to "shadow" the Shamrock anyways. Higdon's training schedule looks awesome, thanks again.

5 miles added to whatever y'all are at. I promise I'll start logging them on here. First good sized run in my five fingers. My feet are fine, but between my ankles and calves on the back of my legs are definitely feeling it!
