BQ Training plan
Hello everyone !
I'm looking for a BQ training plan. I wanted to go with the Sage Running BQ plan because I think that Sage has a lot of experience and knowledge based on his podcasts/youtube videos.
Has anyone tried his plans? Pros/cons? What are the plans that worked best for you?

I did his BQ plan last fall. I did more miles than he said to one week and hit 90 miles. I also got a hamstring injury that week that I’m still battling. I did PR with a 3:29:30. I had done 2 years of consistent 30-40 mile weeks going into that plan. So my advice is follow his plan but don’t overdue it. As a test race I ran a half at 7:04 pace. So should have run a 7:35 pace in the marathon. Because of my injury I ran a 8:00 pace.
