 Posted: 04/17/05 - 23:52 Post subject: marathon planning.
hey everyone, I am planning to do my first marathon on September 25th this year. Have a few questions: does anyone know a good conversion chart for shorter race times to marathon times, and from experience what would be the best training program for me. I currently run about 40mpw (building that up to 50 by may) and havent set a goal yet, but would like somewhere in the 3-3:30 range. if I could break 3 that would be heavenly, but I don't want to set an unreachable goal. I'm gonna try a timed mile soon because I haven't done one since last year, and have gotten a bit faster. thanks in advance.

I bought the P & D book, "Advanced Marathoning" and it helped me to learn alot, and I felt really prepared to marathon.
However, I ran my fastest marathon, using the "Runner's World" beginners plan. 
So...I don't know. Maybe too much knowledge isn't a good thing.
