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 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

Be there for a weekend in June on our way to Jackson Hole. I’m not a trail runner. I thought I’d be since I love to hunt and fish, but every time I’ve fallen, it’s been on a trail. Hate it now.
I’d love to go to SLC and do the half marathon. It looked to be all downhill.
