As someone who has never run a marathon before, my goal is to finish and feel fairly well at the end. I've also got a goal for time, but I understand that could be a little ambitious for a first timer.
I have never personally understood programs like Galloways where he has you running up to 32 miles to get ready for a marathon. It seems like a waste of time to me. Thats why I like the Furman full marathon training program. The longest run is 20 miles getting ready for it.
