Topic: From: Date:	First Time Marathon Training Walt 5/26/04 8:40:55 AM ET
I am about to start training for my first marathon, Steamtown on Oct. 10. My goal is to finish in under 4 hours. I have decided to follow the marathontraining.com schedule. One difference I noticed with that schedule is that the last 20 mile run is 4 weeks from the marathon as opposed to most training programs which are 3 weeks from the marathon. Should I be concerned that my last 20 mile run is about 1 month from the marathon date? Post a reply on the Bulletin Board | Send email reply to Walt
