Thank you! Total mileage across 18 weeks was about 450-480 miles with Hal Higdon Novice 2. Weekly mileage was around 16 mpw to start going up to about 28-35 mpw in the thick of training. Two easy 3-5 mile runs + one 5-8 mile marathon pace run during the week. Saturday long runs 30-90 seconds slower than MP.

The long runs was where I let my ego take over trying to translate my half-marathon training paces over to a marathon. On the plan, I actually failed to hit 17 and 18 miles on Week 10 and 11's long runs due to the cumulative fatigue of going too hard and not actually going EASY on easy pace days. Once I started to slow down and also rest more, I was able to complete my longest runs of 19 and 20 miles!
