planning
oh wow, i don't know where to begin. i'm finding sources that say it takes anywhere from 12 weeks to 2 years to train for a marathon. i think i'm looking at closer to 2 years, because i'm totally new to this and also because i don't want to go through the lottery selection. only about 50% of the applicants for the nyc marathon are selected every year, but if you run 9 qualifying races in the previous year with the new york road runners club, you'll have guaranteed entry.a general plan
now until the end of 2006: run 3-4 times a week
jan-dec 2007: run 9 qualifiying races in the nyrr club
jan-nov 2008: serious training
november 2, 2008: nyc marathon
day 3: 2.0 mi
