Welp. I'm on the damn bench 14 weeks into 18 week plan for Eugene. Diagnosed with MTSS (shin splints), possible stress fracture right around the corner if I continue. Was in shape to sniff sub 03:10:00. Absolutely crushing blow, all things considered. This has been the most debilitating injury I've ever had. Tried to train through it (I know, I know), but it kept getting worse and now I can't walk without pain. Every step hurts.
I sought the advice of multiple MD's/PT's/gait analysis, etc. and there was really no other option.
Gonna rock the rehab and maintain fitness as best I can using the bike and elliptical.
Extremely disheartening, but gotta move onward!
Edit: I will say I will never do an 18 week plan again if I have my usual base fitness and around 30-35 mpw going in. 12 weeks max. One lesson learned.

I'm training for my first marathon and opted for a 12 week plan because I could do 25k trail runs. 18 weeks just felt like asking for an injury, after reading your post I'm glad I made this decision.
I hope you heal quickly and get that sub 3:10 time
