Here’s an unusual diary entry: no run today!
The last day I didn’t run was way back on June 27th (3 days before I started the McMillan Custom Marathon Plan). During the last 17 weeks of training I’ve not felt the need for rest days and have simply ‘run easy’ as part of the recovery process. So far so good.
Today, however, still not feeling 100% and with just over 3 weeks to go to the Richmond Marathon, I decided to rest up. Hopefully I can shake whatever I have and resume normal training. I hate being under-the-weather….
Where is the rest of the blog.
It looks like you didn’t make it on the plan.
I can find another entry for
McMillan Custom Marathon Plan: Week 17 Day 3
on your blog.
What happened next after that entry?
Did you make sub 2:51 at the marathon?
Did you make it to the marathon?
Do you feel the plan worked or didn’t work?
Why?
Was it worth the money?

The plan was excellent and got me to Richmond in the best possible shape. I ran a 2:51:37 on the day – not quite a PR – but a very solid effort in tough conditions. I don’t know anyone that got close to their predicted times on the day. The weather was hot and humid for a mid-November race and it really took its toll on some people.
I was disappointed to not beat the 2:50, but looking back am really happy with my performance. No complaints about the plan whatsoever, and I will be using it again for Richmond 2009.
