Short-Term Running Goals:

I've been a very active runner since High School ( I usually run 5-6 days a week) but I have yet to run a Marathon or any other competitive race since then. I want to get back into competitive running and hopefully have similar results like in High School. Although, last January 09 I got shin splints really bad and it took a good 6 months of rest and rehab to finally get back in the groove. I would like to run a sub 8 minute mile on my first Marathon but maybe I should just worry about finishing it first?   

Long-Term Running Goals:

I want to qualify for the Boston Marathon.

I found out today that I got into the St. George Marathon! I'm pretty stoked but I'm worried about my Shin Splints coming back. I had a bone scan done last week. My doctor wanted to make sure I don't have any Stess Fractures. Luckily it came back negative. I've been taking it easy lately trying to get over it completely. I'm not sure what's going to happen now that I have to start training hard. I have about 20 weeks until the race. Does anybody have a good Marathon Training Schedule? Since I've been having problems with my legs I probably should follow an easier schedule.

Let's hook-up. I have a 16 week training book that should work for you. It's pretty basic, but will do the job, for sure. Congrats on getting in.
