They don't plow it, so it gets icy really fast! Plus, you can't see the lanes!

The reason the H...Yes, my max long run is 16 miles. The reason the Hansons don't advise going past that distance is that they believe that it takes too long to recover from distances greater than 16 miles. Their plan calls for "cumulative fatigue" with minimal rest days for your legs. On your long runs, your legs will feel like they are running the final 16 miles of the marathon, not the first 20. This is my 3rd marathon using this plan. I was inspired by the Runners World article you were probably thinking of called "Way of the Renegades." http://tinyurl.com/bnbbq3ePete Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655789227670205830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804307342977220552.post-62156560020041404292012-12-18T20:23:16.128-08:002012-12-18T20:23:16.128-08:00I didn't know the Hansons Brooks Project poste...I didn't know the Hansons Brooks Project posted free training plans! That's neat. Maybe I'll try their half plan for my spring half. <br /><br />I noticed your plan doesn't go up to 20 miles ... I think I remember reading an article about the Hansons Brooks training and how they don't do the super long runs (was it in Runners World? Running Times?) Will this be your first marathon without doing a 20-miler?
