I've been debating doing this for a while now but I just ran a marathon 3.5 weeks ago so I had to focus on my training for that first. But now I have a copy of the book in my hands and am a couple chapters into it already. I'm not going to follow it 100% because I'm running another marathon in about 10 weeks, but this marathon is different, I'm doing it as a pacer for my mom who is running her first marathon and I'll be running MUCH slower than my normal pace. As I'm already "trained" for the mileage having just come off my own marathon, I'm just running 4-5 days a week at a slow pace to get used to running what her marathon pace will be with a long (2.5-3 hour) run on the weekends.

So I will still be doing more than my fair share of endurance cardio but seeing as how the runs are super, super easy for me at the slow pace I hope I can follow the NROLFW workouts and make some strength gains at the same time.

I guess this is my "hi, how are you?" introduction. I'll probably be on this board a bit more especially as I get started with the workouts and maybe having questions. Look forward to getting to know you all!
