I'm going to use the same training program for the Boston Marathon as I did for the 2006 New York City Marathon. That program was a "personalized" program that I generated on a website offered by the New York Road Runners. The input form on the site asked for various items of information such as age, height, weight, etc. plus running experience, recent miles per week and marathon goal time to come up with an 19 week training schedule.
Starting in week five, this program calls for runs of varying distances six days per week up to a maximum of 42 miles per week in each of weeks 13, 14 and 17. I've set it up to have my "off" day on Saturday. This was week number 1. After a 10 mile run last Sunday (before the "official" start of the program), I put in 3, 5 and 5 miles Wednesday through Friday. Tomorrow, the schedule calls for six. I'll probably stretch the program a bit in that for at least most of the Sunday "long" runs, I'll go for 10 even if the requirement is for something less.
