I cannot argue with Len's comment about my schedule being a bit overboard, as it might could well be too much. That said, based upon Hammer4321's initial post in this thread as well as other posts, I am confident he could manage that level of mileage and his half marathon time would benefit greatly from the extra mileage. What is the basis of my confidence? Personal experience in this case; in mid July of last year I was in almost exactly the same state with regard to my running as Hammer. I opted for some serious LSD work, and over the next four weeks I managed to prepare myself for a hilly 10-miler well enough to log a 1:25:06 time on a very hot and humid day; not a bad day's work for an overweight 56 year old guy.
