I like this program because it sets aside three days of predictable running a week. The mileage increases every week and I feel great about my progress and capability for completing the marathon. I know that every Tuesday I'll have a medium-ish run, every Thursday a short-ish run, and every Sunday a wonderful long run. I enjoy strength training and fitness classes, and this program is perfect because I can do three days of running and then spend the other four days doing cross-training or other workouts as I wish. It is also quite flexible; the formulas for each week make sense so I can repeat a week or add an extra workout (e.g. I did an extra 15M before the plan's Week 13) as necessary. The medium and long runs feel especially luxurious -- I prefer the long mid-week run to multiple shorter runs some of the other plans have. There is a fun feeling of accomplishment that comes from running nine miles before work on a weekday. I nearly completed the program in 2020 before my marathon was cancelled, and I'm looking forward to completing it this year. I have suffered from shin splints in the past based on doing "too much too fast", so I highly recommend this program for novices who want to limit the number of running days and maximize enjoyment from those runs.
