Body
I used this guide my third year in college. Running shape at the time: my first 3 mile run I averaged 11 min/mile and dry heaved a few times after a giant hill. I knew I could run 6 mi though for the first long run and thats why I started this guide. I turned into a running machine (in my mind) with this guide. I could run 8min mile for 8 miles. Race day I ran <4 hours for the 1st marathon I ran. I exceeded my goal of finishing and changed my goal into finishing sub 4 hours mid way through using this running guide. The 20 mile run I decided to incorporate about 8 miles of trail running and wow, I had to stop at mile 18 and walk for a solid 1-2 min, but I finished the distance. The taper gave me great energy and confidence going into race day at the end.
