There are other free resources as well as books and paid content on his site. Higdon is an old dude who is an authority on distance running and training. A beast! Dusty Troy,

I have run one full and coming up on my fourth half marathon. You are spot on with the 50% of the people there aren't there to win... they're there to have a great time, burn a few calories and get the shirt. I absolutely agree.

Good luck with your next! Michael -
