On 26 April I will be running the St. Judes Country Music Marathon in Nashville, TN. This will be my third marathon, the difference with this one is I am trying a new training plan. Tomorrow, yes Christmas Day, I start day 1 of the 18 week Hansons Marathon Method. This program focuses on 3 easy runs and 3 something of substance workouts (Speed, Tempo, and Long). 6 workouts a week under being fatigued will get your body ready to handle the beast that is the marathon. I hope to finish every mile (701 to be exact) of this training plan to give myself a chance of performing at a high level for 26.2 miles.
The main thing that I am proud of by running this race is not being able to finish another marathon, it is having the ability to raise money for St. Judes Hospital. St. Jude is by far my favorite charity because they allow families to focus on whats most important during their stressful situation and that is the health of their child. With the money that is raised through events like this the family will not owe anything for the care of their child. The link to my St Jude donation site is below. If you are able to donate please do. Any amount will help.

I will try to update this blog once a week to give updates on training. You can follow my workouts daily that I post on Facebook or check back here once a week for a weekly update.
Thank you for all the support,
Justin
