Marathon Training Plan

Well I am in week 7 of my marathon training for Tyler Rose Marathon on October 9. This will be my 2nd marathon. I am using Hal Higdon's intermediate training program. I have used his training programs in the past and have always been happy with the program. It is an 18 week program that has pace runs, long run and tempo runs. At the peak of the program I will have a 43 mile week. Since Tyler has a lot of hills on the course I am also adding hill repeats to my schedule every other week. I am feeling stronger this go around than last time. I am hoping to have a better time than the last marathon.
