I completed half of my first marathon training plan yesterday and have to say that it has gone much better than planned. Over week 7, I increased my mileage 30.3% (29 --> 37.8 miles), which was too much, but week 9 is a recovery week. I'll be between 30 and 35 this week. Not only am I stronger, but I've found that I'm expending the same energy at faster paces. My easy runs used to be slower than 10:00 minute pace, now my easy runs are around 9:40 pace.
My marathon training plan peaks at 43 miles, only about 5 to go. I'm thinking about adding a few more miles to my longest long run of 20 miles.
