Run steady, Bill R. Bill, I want to ask your assistance in telling me what marathon training program would be best to use to break the 3 hr marathon barrier. Hi Brandon, The approach to marathon training should be planning and committment. We sell some of these books here at the Bill Rodgers Running Center. The break away from Seko in the 1979 Boston Marathon Early lead pack in 1979 Boston Marathon Dear Bill, I'm 55 yrs. Anyway, I just started back about 2 mos.
Comebacks are no fun.
My chiropractor is a marathoner, and he says I'm doing fine. You're in the early days of your return to running, and your muscles need to get used to the effort - aim for dirt and grass as much as possible. Yes, it's possible to do the NYC Marathon in a year. Plan your training and under do it rather than over do it. If you don't do the marathon think of the good progress and health you've acquired in your return to running - that's more important finally than any marathon.
