As some of you may know, my fitness plans are a little different from most of you around here. This year I made the commitment to run a marathon. I set up a progressive plan, starting with a half-marathon (13.1 miles) in April, a 25k (15.5 miles) in May, and hopefully culminating in October with the Grand Rapids Marathon.
Well, two down, one to go. I've decided on a marathon training schedule that will max out at 56 miles per week and will have three 20 mile runs spread throughout. Now I need your help picking a lifting schedule to complement it.
I'll be running 4 days a week (MWRSa) and lift Tuesday and Friday. I need a plan that is full body, yet not too taxing on the lower body. I would like it to be slightly different for each day, so as to not get bored with it, as this will be a 14 week journey. Of course, whichever plan I go with, running will take precedence and will probably be dropped the last couple weeks before the race.
I've already been pointed towards Alwyn's Holiday Undulating Periodization Plan (thanks km) with some modification to take some of the lower body stuff and like the looks of it at first glance, but would like to hear some more suggestions from anyone with another idea. Thanks.
