The actual Goofy training doesn't begin until September, as long as I keep my base miles up. I am planning on running a 10 K this weekend, and a half marathon in the fall. The main difference between Goofy training and marathon training is that I have to run two days back to back, with medium milage on Saturday, and the long,slow run on Sunday. I follow John Stanton's plans, from his book Running Room's Book on Running. It is an excellent book for beginners and experienced runners alike.
Here is my perscribed training schedule for this week:
Sunday 10 miles, easy
Monday off
Tuesday 4 miles, fast
Wednesday 4 miles, fast
Thursday 2 miles, steady
Friday off
Saturday 10 K race!
I'll keep you posted on my progress.
