well two good runs two not so good. Ended up in a christmas tree field on my second run ....was quite surprised. Went running in a new area. Nice gentle intro though 1 week down and 15 to go. Mileage count 15 miles.

Well done that sounds like progress to me... what plan are you following??

non-runner marathon training - main thoughts are that it focuses quite a bit on the mental side of marathon running and aims to get trainees running up to a long run of 18 miles on the basis if you can run this in training you can run a marathon. Also aims on marathon completion rather than a specific time which it argues is much more motivational. Quite an old book now around 1998. So may be more modern updated versions around. It was also a recommendation from someone in this community.
