I did a 6 month plan for running a Marathon once but stretched it to 10 months prep. It was from coolrunning.com and wound up being excellent.
It's from "Training Plans for Cyclists" by Gale Bernhart (sp?).
I'm finding as I get older (will be 64 in a week +), that having a plan laid out by someone who has some expertise (I have lots of experience but not much expertise) makes a huge difference. The time-honored "ride a lot and throw in a few interval sessions" approach doesn't work as well as it used to.
