From Fellrnr.com, Running tips
→Hal Higdon
* Key Characteristics
** Detailed plans at five different levels, with tips and advice for each run
** More advanced plans use a marathon pace run followed by a long run the next day. *** My friend Troy notes that this is a problem as you either need to be able to run both Saturday and Sunday, or be able to run a longish run on Friday and the long run Saturday. *** Another friend Christa said she liked having the MP run the day before the long run, as the experience of going long on tired legs helped prepare her for the race.
* Plan [http://www.halhigdon.com/marathon/novices.html Novice 1]
** Duration: 18 weeks
** As Advanced 1, but with two interval or tempo runs, plus marathon pace followed by a long run
