You put together training plans for old people? Been doing the Hal Higdon stuff.
The main complaint of Higdon’s programs are that they don’t have enough mileage to them so you end up a little underprepared on race day

That's not a terrible thing for us older people. I had rather be undertrained than over trained or injured.

That depends on the program. His Novice I and II are light on mileage (they are designed for beginners) and no speedwork and intervals, but both the Intermediate and Advanced programs have plenty of miles and have tempo/intervals/speedwork. I've used his intermediate & advanced programs to prep for many trail marathon events. Once I knew a bit more about what I was doing, my biggest complaint is that there are alot of junk miles in Zone 3, and he dosen't adhere to the 80/20 rule. His programs are good overall though.
Edit - Aubie Spr96, are't you the person who has a son at the U out here? Next time you're out here let's go run the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. We can meet behind the U and Fort Douglas
