Overachiever

Since I've been collecting all this marathon wisdom from the gurus, even though I've already created my plan, I thought I'd see what I'd be running if I was following one of their plans 17 weeks before the marathon.  Just wanted to get some perspective and see how my training stacks up.

Some of their runs are prescribed by time rather than distance, but if I do the math, here's the comparison:

HIGDON

Novice 1 = 15 miles

Advanced 2 = Approximately 26 miles


GALLOWAY

4:00 Plan =  Approximately 9.4 miles


HANSON

Beginner = 10 miles

Advanced =  26 miles


FITZGERALD

Level 1 = Approximately 15 miles

Level 2 = Approximately 19.3 miles


Coach Haley (the hamster in my head) = 48 miles

Holy schnikes!  

So nearly 4 months out, I'm already running nearly double what the most advanced plans would have me doing, and this week's long run will exceed in a day what each of the beginner plans are running for the week.  Um, yeah, I'm gonna be fine...
