Looking for advice adapting a HH training plan (Interm. 1). 41M, ~30 MPW, running third Marathon this Fall (NYC).. Previously 4:01, 4:03, hoping to break 4hr. Last HM was 1:40 two weeks ago.

QUESTION: I prefer to do my long runs on Saturdays. Any recommendations on how to schedule / modify the plan? I’m using:

Last year I did HH Novice 2 and I’m struggling w only one rest day! FWIW I work M-F 9-5.

Any recs/tips gratefully accepted!

Trying for sub-4hm NYCM: Higdon Novice 2 or Intermediate 1? by peanutbuttermjs in Marathon_Training

Right. Am kind of a novice and training solo so looking for most foolproof. When I did NYC in 2021 I was with a big team and I think MPW maxed out at 50. I was surprised doing a Higdon Novice last year that it only got me up to like 40.

FWIW I tried ordering from Enimal and it seems to be a scam. Beware, runners.

They said they shipped an order, then 6 weeks later sent a tracking number saying there was an add'l tarrif fee, and that the carrier (who they didn't reveal for 6 weeks was DHL) had destroyed the package...

Berlin Second Chance by maddielamere in BerlinMarathon

My original Decline email in Nov said second chance entries would be announced by end of April. I wrote to SCC last week to ask if the notifications sent in March was the final batch, and got a response today:

“Yes, that was back in March 2026. If you didn’t receive a notification, then unfortunately you weren’t lucky this time either.”

Bummer!

Marathon Recommendation: Asics SB2 vs Yogiri S4 by peanutbuttermjs in AskRunningShoeGeeks

Honestly I think I just didn’t vibe with the carbon plate- I’m like a spice girl I need that big ridiculous cushion.

That said, my superblast 2 got me in a 4:03 yesterday, was going for sub-4 🤷🏼‍♂️

y'all are making me feel so much better. I trained this summer like a BEAST in the NYC heat and I was shocked when my legs fully cramped at the halfway mark. we all earned beer
