Re: Weight Training for Running/Soccer
Bruiser,
As pointed out by others, this is a far from ideal way to run a marathon or optimize frisbee/soccer performance. Howqever, if you insist on doing this, there are a number of low-mileage running programs on the web for marathons and ultramarathons.
Typically when training for long races, most of the real work is really done in one long training run at the end of the week, with a few shorter maintenance runs done during the week. A good compromise for your purposes might be to just replace some or all of those shorter runs with other speed training like sprints and shuttle runs. At the end of the week do your endurance run, starting with a shorter run (depending on your current fitness level) and making that one weekly run longer over time until it's at least 20 miles before you run the marathon.
