Slightly revised plans follow. I'll have two buffer weeks at the end of the buildup, in case I run Indianapolis, and one buffer week in case I run the Derby Mini (looks unlikely now - will travel to a conference).

Week of 11/11: 5 easy runs of 4 miles each, no slower than 8:00; one long run of 7 miles. Total of 27 miles.

Week of 11/18: One easy run is switched out to a 5.5 mile tempo: 1 mile warmup, 3.5 miles at tempo pace (6:20, but a little slower is fine), then 1 mile cooldown. Increase long run to 8 miles. Total of 29.5 miles.

Week of 11/25: Total of 32 miles, including 8 mile long run, 5.5 mile tempo (as above), and easy runs of 4.63 miles each.

Week of 12/2: Total of 35 miles, including 9 mile long, same tempo (but do try to hit the 6:20 pace), easy runs of 5.13 miles.

Week of 12/9: Total of 39 miles, including 10 mile long, 6 mile tempo (1 - 4 - 1), and 5.75 mile easy runs.

Week of 12/16: Total of 43 miles, including 11 mile long, 7 mile tempo (1.5 - 4 - 1.5) and 6.25 mile easy runs.

Week of 12/23: Total of 47 miles, including 12 mile long, 7 mile tempo and 7 mile easy runs.

Week of 12/30: Total of 50 miles, including 13.1 mile long, 8 mile tempo (2 - 4 - 2) and 7.23 mile easy runs.

Week of 1/6, and 1/13: Repeat the last week. These two weeks will also serve as buffer if I ever have to repeat a buildup week. Note that in case I run the Derby Mini, there is only one buffer week.
