Re: Marathon Training
[ QUOTE ]
Secondly, all the training plans have distances, how should i include speeds into it? Having seen what people have to say about miles 21-26 i feel training toward a 3 hours 20 time would give me enough room to struggle though the last part and still keep my side of the bet.

Do not start off at a pace significantly faster then what you can maintain for the distance. If you are in 4:00 shape, you may want to run the first part at 3:50 pace but nothing faster. If you go out at 3:20 pace and are in shape for a 4:00 marathon you will crash and burn and it will be ugly.
