Pre-Marathon 50 Mi 15 Wk

This is a training plan that I've put together to help prepare me for the Pfitzinger 70-mile, 24-week plan. It will take me from running 35 miles per week to 50 miles per week.

It is mainly a base-building plan, but there is one speed workout each week.

This plan was created with input, feedback, and advice from the following people on RunningAhead.com: Berner
