Training Schedule, Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon

I took some time to plot out my training schedule for the Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon in June.  I like to use a combination of Jack Daniels‘ plan, as found his book, Jack Daniels’ Running Formula, and Ron Daws‘ hill workouts (his interpretation of Arthur Lydiard‘s hill workouts), as found in Running Your Best: The Committed  Runner’s Guide to Training and Racing.  I substitute Daws’ hill workouts for Daniels’ Repetition workouts.
