Great, thanks!
So if I get it correctly, the first 12 weeks you do 3 trainings a week and the longest (if I read it correctly) is 7km on Wednesdays. Then you move to the second part of 4 trainings a week but you're training 3 days in a row on Tue, Wed, Mid and then a big one on Sat?
Yeap, the 3 days in a row is to get you use to running on sore legs, generally they equal a similar distance to your long run on Saturday. The first 12 weeks is just to ensure you will be able to effectively start the 18 week program.
That does sound doable.
I just had a look at my training pattern in my Garmin stats and it seems that if I made the switch soon, I could be doing my first marathon before the summer, I'm already doing the distances over a weekly basis. What do you recon:
You can definitely skip the pre training mate!
