* The training paces are fixed offsets from the race pace, not percentages. Running 15 seconds slower than a 6 min/mile race pace is a much bigger drop than for someone racing at 12 min/mile.
* It's not clear how much benefit there is from the cross training, or what cross training is most beneficial
* I am not a big believer in tempo runs. They work, but I believe that interval training is more effective.* The book does not have a marathon plan for beginners, but there is one [http://www.wu.ece.ufl.edu/marathon%20training-first%20marathon.pdf online].
