So here's a good one that I stole

If I can't come up with something interesting to blog about, I'm not above stealing someone else's post and giving my NTBH opinion on the contents thereof.

So here's a good one.

Do I want to run a marathon?

HELL NO! 

But am I tempted to run a marathon just to say I've done it.  Oh YES!

So checked out this training schedule and I really can't believe that only once in the weeks leading up to the run is it recommended to run over 19 miles.

ANY_CHARACTER_HERE
Monday: Off.
Tuesday: Run at a conversational pace.
Wednesday: 60 minutes of non-impact exercise (bike, swimming, elliptical).
Thursday: Run at conversational pace. At end of run, do 4-6 sets of strides: gradual accelerations of about 80 meters or 10-15 seconds. The stride should end with you at about 90% of maximum speed.
Friday: Run at conversational pace.
Saturday: 60 minutes of non-impact exercise (bike, swimming, elliptical).
Sunday: Most important run of the week. Run at conversational pace; be sure to drink a fluid/carbohydrate/electrolyte replacement drink every 20-25 minutes on this run.


HELLO!  Do you know how far a marathon is?  26.2 miles.  Why wouldn't I need to practice running that far?  It seems totally skully-whomp-ous to not ever run more than 20 miles before running a 26.2 mile race.

Doesn't it?

What say you?
