Here’s the 6 day per week running schedule (mentioned in the video below) we are trying with 6 weeks to go before the marathon. We are trying to limit calories to 3000 per day because of the blown diet after successfully losing 46 lbs in 4 months. We are running 6 days per week (Mondays are off days). Tues 40 min; Wed 1 hr 30 min; Thurs 40 min; Friday 1 hr 30 min; Sat. 40 min; and Sunday our hero will run for whole 2 hours. (We run a certain period of time…we don’t really know the distance…it’s too hard to keep track of). We do this for at least 6 continuous weeks prior to the marathon….the actual week before we change it a bit and slack off…but more about that later. I call this my old circa 1980s formula “Final Push” for marathon training. The trouble is that our hero is not 28 years old anymore. And running 13 minutes miles is a real big challenge. Back in the 80s he was doing between 8 minute and 8:30 minute miles. [We will give the training schedule for the weeks leading up to the “Final Push” (to get in shape to do the final push) in a later video.]
