Adjusting OS plan for Spring Marathon

Kevins1234

Hi guys,

In so far as the outseason plan goes, can you help adjust it for an April marathon (Boston)?

Kevin,

There is a 'Marathon Hack', which I believe is a spreadsheet that you can replace runs in the OS to get you ready for a marathon. 

There is also a marathon forum here as there are others who are also training for early season events, including Boston.  We had a small EN contingent there last year so it is doable.

Kevin, I think we'll have 10-15 EN folks doing Boston this year, myself included. We work off of the marathon guidance in the wiki (here: http://endurancenation.us.dnnmax.com/Resources/Wiki/tabid/108/Default.aspx?topic=pace+a+marathon) to add longer runs to our OS plans...very doable!

Thanks for your posts guys, I look into each or are they one in the same?

The "Hack" that Gordon is referring to is linked in the Marathon Pacing page that P linked to in the wiki
