T minus one month!

In honor of it being one month from Justin and I’s third marathon, I thought I’d post some training plans for 5k’s (3.1 miles), ½ marathons (13.1 miles) and marathons (26.2 miles). Food for thought for potential Disneyworld 2011 (hehe). I also promised Cris I would send her a couple of training plans.

5k plans:

One of the most popular beginner plans is called “Couch to 5k” or C25k.

If you go to this site (http://www.c25k.com/) you’ll find links to discussion forums, iPhone apps and podcasts.

The following links have plans for several distances and many have novice/intermediate/advanced options:

Hal Higdon (or Uncle Hal to many of my online runner friends):

Jeff Galloway (His plans are run/walk. His plans are designed to conserve energy and keep you injury free):
