Ive had the same goal for more than two years now: to qualify for the Boston Marathon. To do so, I have to run the New York City Marathon in less than 3 hours and 35 minutes, or about 8 minutes a mile.Ive attempted this feat three times in the past. Once, the weather had a different plan for me. The second time, after 15 miles, two bathroom breaks and bad pacing deterred my goal, and the third time I got injured six weeks before the race. Needless to say, Im still chasing the unicorn.This time, Im taking you along with me.Im Megan Flood, and Ill be writing a biweekly blog on training for the New York City Marathon. Every other week until November, Ill update you on my progress and explore a training topic, such as diet, gear or mentality. This week, in my inaugural blog, well go over picking a training plan. But first, heres a little bit about my running background:I started running marathons in 2011; I was a freshman in college and I wanted to stay as active as I had been in high school. I had also harbored an eight-year-long goal of running the 2011 NYC marathon. And since then, Ive completed seven full and seven half-marathons. This upcoming race will be my fifth in New York and eighth overall.Needless to say, Im more experienced than your average runner, but my blog will provide tips and suggestions for runners of all levels.***Choosing the correct training plan for me is vital, especially now that I have such a specific time goal in mind. In 2011, all I wanted to do was to finish. I didnt even know if Id run another marathon after that one.Since 2011, Ive used a virtual coaching plan by Adidas call miCoach, and since last year, Ive used the advanced plan of the Hansons Marathon Method.Not everyone has success with the same plan, so its important to choose one based on how much time youll be able to dedicate to your training and how many days a week youd liked to run, cross train (i.e., cycle, elliptical) and rest.The Hansons Method has an easy plan and an advanced plan. I consider myself an average amateur runner, and with my experience, I felt confident in choosing the advanced route. Ive also used it twice before this marathon.It calls for me to run six days a week, with speed and strength work on Tuesdays, rest on Wednesdays, tempo runs on Thursdays, long runs on Sundays and easy days on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays. This has been my basic running calendar since last summer. The time and number of miles required each week (from 26 miles to 62 miles per week, built up) make it physically and mentally demanding to stay on track. It definitely isnt for the weakhearted, but I know a lot of people who have successfully qualified for Boston with this plan.Due to a previous injury that Id like to keep at bay during this training cycle, Ive modified the plan: On Mondays, instead of an easy run, Ill go on the stationary bike or elliptical. Ill also start the speed training two weeks later than the plan suggests. Ive been in physical therapy for my injury and consulted with my doctor regarding the modifications. (Its important to discuss training through an injury or plan modifications for an injury with your doctor.)I recommend finding a plan that fits your life like a good pair of shoes. If you feel like youre forcing your training into your life, you will feel less motivated to stay on schedule. A marathon is a daunting distance, no matter if youre looking to cross it off your bucket list or to run your 50th. But it should be fun, so find a plan that matches how often you want to run, how fast you want to run and the types of runs you want to complete.Custom Shirts Sale . -- Anaheim Ducks captain and leading scorer Ryan Getzlaf has been scratched from Sunday nights game against the Vancouver Canucks because of an upper-body injury.
