...start training for the marathon in Dec (week 1)?

After a short hiatus of 2 weeks, where I was under doctor's (I mean, sinseh's) orders to stay off running for two weeks (to cut a long story short, my knee was swollen after one whole night of walking around on heels), I am back to training for the marathon in Dec.

At the same time, the Straits Times published a training schedule for those who are training for their first marathon, so I'm using that as a guide.

Straits Times' Training Schedule (Week 1):

Mon - 30 mins (optional)
Tues - 20 mins
Wed - 45 mins (optional)
Thurs - 20 mins
Fri - Day off
Sat - 20 mins
Sun - 45 mins

My training schedule (Week 1):

Mon - Day off
Tues - Day off
Wed - 20 mins
Thurs - 20 mins
Fri - Day off
Sat - 24 mins
Sun - 48 mins
