The book mentioned doing rowing as one of the cross-training workouts. I think I will try alternating that with the cycling, and kickboxing. My problem is that I got psyched to get started with the program, and I find out that the only half marathons for the rest of the year are on Sundays. The next long distance event on a Saturday is a marathon in February. So, I guess I will try doing a 15k in September, and maybe go for the marathon in February. Any ideas of what kind of workout to do in the meantime? The marathon schedule is 16 weeks long, and the actual race is 28 weeks away. |

Hal Higdon's got a good half plan that's exactly 12 weeks. http://www.halhigdon.com/halfmarathon/inter.htm For the last six weeks of it, I'd probably drop 3-4 miles from each of the weekend long runs, so you're not burned out when it's time to start the full plan. Maybe even drop a mile or two from the shorter runs, as well. |

I definitely wouldn't not do a race just because it's on a Sunday. That's just how it happens (outside of utah). I have a several fairly mullah-ish friends who have done races on Sunday. |
