== Advanced Marathoning (Pfitzinger) ==
This plan is specifically for experienced marathon runners looking to improve their performance. There is no beginner or intermediate plans, but there are multiple plans depending on miles per week and number of weeks.

* My take: Some good plans with basic guidance around training plans, but not as sophisticated as Jack Daniels or FIRST. The plans involve a lot of long and medium long runs, and some speedwork. There is a note that the long runs should be 10% to 20% slower than goal marathon pace, but there is not advice on how to do the calculation, or tables to use.
* Key Characteristics
** Training pace based on fitness
** Two key workouts; speedwork and long run, with other running left open
** Guidance for training paces and distances provided
* "up to 55 mile" plans
** 4-5 days/week of running
** One medium long run per week (11-13 miles) in addition to the long run
** Occasional, once per week speedwork sessions
* "up to 70 mile" plans
** 6 days/week of running
** One or two medium long runs per week (11-15 miles) in addition to the long run
** One session per week
* "Over 70 mile" plans
** 7 days/week of running with running twice a day on some days
** One or two medium long runs per week (11-15 miles) in addition to the long run
** One speedwork session per week
* Long runs are shown in the table below

==Jeff Galloway==
The Jeff Galloway training program is based around taking walking breaks to increase the distance that can be covered, and to run as slowly. (I have not used the Galloway approach and I will add more details about this plan in the future.)
