I was on a mission to lose weight in 2019. I started blindly running and built my mileage up to 13 miles. About June of 2019 I decided I wanted to run the distance of a Marathon but I kept getting hurt as I added more mileage on, because I was't following any plan I just kept running farther and farther. So I leaned on my sister who has used Mr. Higdon's program several times (she's ran 11 marathons and used one of these programs in one way or the other). I picked the Novice 1 program we up'ed the mileage by a few miles in week 3 and 4 since I already had a solid base. From week 5 on I followed the Novice 1 program to a T and I didn't not get hurt again! My goal was to finish the race in under 4 hours. I finished in 3 hours and 51 mins, a 8:51 mile. It was awesome. Now I'm using the Novice 2 program, I have followed this program to a T from day 1 and getting ready to start on week 5 tomorrow and have improved my long run time to 8:18/mile (11 miles), my 5k time to 21:02, my 10k time to 49:38. I totally appreciate the simplicity and this stuff truly works!!! Thank you Hal!!! P.S. I have lost a total of 81LBS since 12/26/2018 and I'm totally addicted to running!!!
