Recruits are signing up...
I talked to some friends last night and I may have some recruits for Doyle's Running Club 3! The idea is to start early (very soon) to train for the Chicago Marathon(very far away - October) so that the group can take its current running distances (very short) and amp them up to marathon distances (very far). The advantage to beginning training early in the year is that you can plan for a gradual training program that allows for your body to adapt to the distance and not break down.
I've used the Non-Runner's Marathon as a training guide before. It is good at taking a running novice and preparing them to complete the marathon. The advantages of the program is that it is short (16 weeks) and doesn't take a lot of time (4 runs a week). But it leaves you with very limited options if you should become injured during the program.
I think instead that we will use a variation of a Hal Higdon novice program. It runs 24 weeks and has a number of mini-cycles in it. It also has the same time commitment in terms of running four days a week. I'll post a link to it, or recode the table for later.
Are you interested in running Chicago this year?
