I'm going to do it, to prove that YOU can do it too!

Next year, I am going to run the Portland Marathon.

I have 360 days to build up to 26.2 miles, and I think I can do it.
The plan is this:

10 weeks- Couch to 5k (giving me one extra week, in case I have to miss a few runs.)
24 weeks- Milage Build up Plan (Extra 5 weeks put in)
20 weeks- Marathon Training Plan (extra 4 weeks put in)

Who will do this with me?

You totally CAN do it!!! I think that's a great plan. I love Runners World! Sometimes it's a little overwhelming and you might get a bit burned out but just put your head down and charge forward. And sometimes you may take the unplanned week or two off for an injury, or your schedule interrupts your training regime, or you just don't want to...just get back on it and keep going.


You totally can do it and I think your plan sounds awesome and totally doable. <--this coming from someone who went from 1-2 miles to 26 in a year :).

Good luck.

I can't do that with you, I'd die.
