Re: Marathon prep with only 3 runs per week and a ton of tempo? Stupid? [uw234]

Since I don't have the time to ramp up my mileage and go on a "proper" marathon training plan, I have started a plan that almost exclusively focuses on hard running but only 3x per week.

In all seriousness, you still have 11 weeks to the marathon date. If I am reading this correctly you have already completed a month of running something like ~90, 60, and 60 min sessions each week. That's close to 30 miles. You can split those 30 miles up between 5-6 runs and increase your mileage each week by 10% to be up to 50-60-70 miles your last couple weeks (which is probably plenty in your case with your history). That's what I would do, but I also made the mistake of training too hard too quickly and now I am paying for it with my achilles.
