Body
Years ago I read the book Born to Run and got inspired to actually get running. I've always worked out and lifted a lot of weights, but never actually did any type of long distance running that wasn't particular to the sports I played, football and baseball. A friend recommended the Hal Higdon program and so I decided to try it. I was randomly trying to run different distances, different days, and really didn't have an organized approach to this. Really knew I needed a plan, but had no experience in long distance training. So I followed the Novice 1 program and never looked back. I was amazed at almost 40 years old, how my body adapted so quickly to running the distances. I ended up running the race in a little over 2 hours and 7 minutes, eclipsing my goal of 2 hours and 15 minutes. Candidly I could have gone sub 2 hours, but just did not have the experience of the runs. When I finished it was an effortless feeling and I didn't feel like I was depleted. I felt like I could have kept on going. All in all, this is the easiest way for a non runner to actually run quickly! The pogram works, thank you Hal!
