It's a little more condensed in terms of # of weeks and does involve more days per week (I agree with you about running longer than 20 miles - it's unnecessary and puts strain on your body). I used it to train for Dopey and it was great. I was perfectly trained for 4 days of running and had one of my fastest marathon times. Either way, good luck!<br /> <br />(Here is Hal's plan if you are interested: http://www.halhigdon.com/writing/57107/Dopey%20Challenge%20Training%20Guide)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15227491068964684084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993706116118561467.post-14760836461714619482017-06-21T07:17:34.735-05:002017-06-21T07:17:34.735-05:00Great idea!!

I followed Gallowa...That sounds like a great plan. I followed Galloway's training for both my first marathon (at Disney) and the Dopey Challenge. It is best to do what you feel is best. I agree that I didn't get up to the max distance he has (and didn't want to), but I left that week there. Both times something happened and I had to miss a week so that brought me back to where I was doing the max mileage I wanted and I didn't miss a week. Kinda like a buffer week.

That said, I will stand on the sidelines and cheer as you do this crazy weekend of running, because girl, I just could NOT do it.
