Marathon Training Comparisons

Back when I started training, I thought it would be cool to do a training comparison because this cycle was planned to be different from previous cycles, and I wanted to chronicle that. Instead, it ended up being different but not necessarily in a good way. But still, I love to do comparisons, so here we are.

There's so much other data I'd like to include in here, but this took forever, so I'm going to stop for now. If you only knew how many spreadsheets I have with other variations of race/training data......
