Marathon training prog for dummies

[chris]

A long time ago, I found an online marathon training program that was free, and all you did was type in your race date and it plotted the plan in the calendar and would email you to tell you what to do that day.

I have no idea where it is. Any one know of any resource like this? I just want it as an easy reference guide and to adapt.

There's the Smartcoach thing on Runnersworld.com. Gives you a training programme of up to 16 weeks.

There the Hal Higdon plan, three levels with each week laid out and advice given. It has cross training on it so you can still swim and bike while on the plan.
