==Jack Daniels 2Q==
There are seven sub-plans under the 2Q plan for different weekly mileage, and the details of each sub-plan vary with fitness levels, creating a bewildering array of options. The table below should help you sift through some of the options to get a sense of what the plan would look like for your weekly mileage and fitness level. The variation based on fitness and mileage makes it hard to generalize about this plan. Depending on your fitness and mileage, the 2Q plan would work well. The 2Q is the shortest of Jack Daniels' non-novice plans.

==Jack Daniels Plan A ==
The "Plan A" varies with the runner's fitness and weekly mileage. It generally has quite a long build up to the longer runs unless you are a fast runner doing high mileage. Plan A includes some significant speed work as part of the [[Long Run]]. I think that the Plan A is an excellent approach for an experience runner looking to improve their performance.

==Jack Daniels Elite Plan (12 Week Plan)==
The 'Elite' plan is one of the few I've seen that focuses on high performing runners who are prepared to put in a lot of effort. This plan is intended for elite marathon runners with a race time of 2:10 or less (VDOT 77+), but it is possible to scale it down for lesser runners. The plan includes a lot more [[Long Run]]s than Plan A, and more than any other except the high mileage versions of Pfitzinger. As noted above, the 12 week plan in the third edition is the last 12 weeks of the elite plan in the second edition. If you're thinking of using this plan, find a copy of the second edition (still available used at <jfs id="0736054928" n="" nonl="t"/>.)

==Jack Daniels Scaled Elite Plan ==
While the Elite plan focuses on the fastest runners, the second edition includes instructions for scaling the workouts for the rest of the running community. Realistically, the Elite Plan only scales down to about the 3 hour mark. If you're slower than 3 hours then the long runs become too short, with 4 hour runners peaking at 14 miles and 5 hour runners peaking at only 12 miles.

==Jack Daniels "To Finish" Plan==
I don't recommend the "To Finish" plans as they don't have sufficient [[Long Run]]s.
