re: 100 mile March. Who wants to run with me? (Cash prize)

What marathon are you training for and what plan are you following?

I'm getting an early jump on either the Louisiana in BR or rock and roll in New Orleans January next year. Right now I'm following intermediate program on the nike run app and when I'm done with that I'm going to try the program above it. So I should be well trained to run a marathon by then. I've enjoyed the intermediate program thus far and have seen some nice gains in endurance/speed already. It's the first program I've ever used but I would recommend it. Especially for the novice like myself.

That's a very early start. I haven't looked into that program but I'm sure it will give you a solid base to get ready. Depending on your goals for the run, you may want to look into pfitz 18/55 plan. It's a 18 week program that peaks at 55 miles one week. You'll need a solid base before starting the program, which it seems like you are working on. Good luck with training.

2 miles twice a day is easy,
I was doing 6 miles a day trying to catch Forks and at one point 10 miles (2 runs of 5 miles)

I hope so man. I fell prey to what you were saying about packing a ton of running in right before a race. A half marathon, a few short runs before, and one wrecked body later. I told myself if I ever run a marathon I have to take the training seriously. Good luck in the half.

The idea of putting in a ton of miles the month before a marathon is a terrible idea. I have less than 3 weeks before Boston and my longest run left is 16. The taper is in full swing.
