I had my best marathon time with that plan. After that I increased my mileage and my time went up to 30 minutes longer! So I maybe more/higher miles aren't always best? <br /><br />the plan looks amazing! Good luck!5 Miles Past Emptyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16542419394717296576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242345102337084083.post-6068239565293793792011-02-10T17:14:28.691-05:002011-02-10T17:14:28.691-05:00Looks like a great training plan!
