Recently I purchased the movie Spirit of the Marathon (2007), watched it several times already, and I'm mulling over another attempt this year at doing the 26.2 mile distance--mostly on my own. Found a helpful Beginner Marathon Program on the Cool Running web portal. Key thing I want to do this time around I did not do last year is work on a solid base, essentially working on the referred to pre-training schedule for about 2 months. The marathon schedule also incorporates longer runs on alternating weeks, which I've heard works better for some people.
Yesterday was the official kicking off point for starting the pre-training schedule--also since it was such an awesome day. I'll focus on 3-4 runs per week to get that habit going. I'll post updates here as things progress. Wish me luck!
