I had a lot of injuries during that time. yeah… everything is different when you are training for a marathon – I will definitely check out alternative plans if/when I train for another one.

I think if your body can withstand the extra "junk" miles and it makes you feel good to get out there and do them, then do it. I've found my body to be injury prone, so too many (like more than 2) consecutive days of running and my body starts to fall apart. It's a struggle though, I definitely tossed in some junk into my peak weeks to reach some "magical" mileage number, more for that mental boost than anything. It's all trial and error for the individual. Good research, lady! I think if your body can withstand the extra “junk” miles and it makes you feel good to get out there and do them, then do it.
