Thanks for that spread sheet!

This guy, McMillan, seems to have some very interesting ideas.
I am going to run a 1/2 Marathon in 12 weeks. It will be the first race I have run since 1988 (a 10K, I think I ran about 42:00). Over the years I gained, and now finally lost, about 65 pounds since 1988.
The information available, coupled with the data from my Garmin 305, makes training with purpose and intention a very seductive idea. My plan is to use Hal's 1/2M novice plan and incorporate McMillan's recommendations for pacing and type of workout (he calls the categories stamina, speed, and endurance). My goal is to finish in under 2:30:00. Not a world's record, but considering everything it will be for me.
