First I have really enjoyed running since I read the book and have followed the advice! Thanks a bunch, it’s made running so much more enjoyable.

Currently I’m following the Level 1 Marathon training plan from the book and I see a Marathon Simulation Run in my near future. I can’t seem to find any reference to it in the book. Maybe I’m in denial but, am I going to run a full 26.2 miles on that day?

Thanks much,
DaveW

The workout library on this site here has it as a 20 mile run. The breakdown is:

1.5 miles Zone 1, 16 miles at race pace, 1 mile Zone 2, 1.5 miles Zone 1

I did think it was weird that the book didn’t actually mention the breakdown of that one.

This is the Run Long Fast Finish 2 in the book. We (and our copy editor) apologize for the omission in the book.

Thank you for this clarification. I have noticed the same for all 3 levels of the Marathon training plans in the book. I wanted to follow the level 2 plan, is it the same workout for all 3 levels, i.e. “Run Long Fast Finish 2” ?

Thank you in advance.

Yes, any run that is missing a description in the book is the Run Long Fast Finish 2.
