-Our bodies can adapt well to added cardio/vascular efforts, but muscularly, if you jump into something to quickly, you could get hurt again or not even run as well as expected. Start adding in mileage, about 5-9 miles a week (with recovery weeks every 3rd week). Since you won't be up to that 75 mpw overnight, substitute in some more cross training in these "rebuilding mileage" weeks- so you can work your body cardio-vascularly and not kill your muscular system. Swim, bike, and aqua-run are some of the best exercises. Good luck!

I trained for and ran a 4:02 (not fast but my first marathon) at the Vancovuer marathon in the spring running three days a week. I got the plan off runners world. I have posted it at the bottom. iot also fits very well into triathlon training programs.
It's a least worth a read.

why after a season of injury would you want to run a marathon. you are not interested in making a PR either and you have completed plenty of marathons already. why not take the time to repair and get strong!
if you said you just completed a strong XC season and you want to throw in a nice marathon thats a different story !

Thanks guys-Really appreciate the support.
The only injury I did in fact sustain was the muscle fibre tear. Though it took a long, arduous period of rehab.
Will check out these plans-Thanks again!

Yesterday, after a season of injuries, and mostly rehab, my collegiate XC season ended.
I ran the race as hard as I could, while still in the late stages of final healing on a partially torn quad muscle back in early September.
I felt very strong, and aside from overall muscle sorness and tightness today, the leg and the rest of me feels good.
My next goal is Disney, though I am not seeking to qualify for Boston, but rather crack 3:30. Does anyone know any good marathon training plans to ramp up my mileage, knowing I have only been running about 20-25 mpw?
I came into season witn 75 mpw, and have run three marathons in the past.
Thanks!
