I just randomly click into this topic and it is an interesting topic and discussion.
For me I don't have any personal comment as most of them were expressed by previous ching and ctse.
Here I just give you some references and information about the training plan.
Actually I am training for Gold Coast Marathon on 5/7/09 and it is 15 weeks to go.
It is my debut marathon so I take it pretty seriously about it.
The offical website has outlined some training plans for different kinds of runners, which are shown as below:
Beginner
Intermediate
Advanced
If you have read them, you would find that even the plan for beginners is quite serious as it needs to at least run 3-4 days a week. I do agree there are trade off (or opportunity cost) between long distance training and other fancy sports, but you could still make use of some "rest day" to do your faviourite such as Yoga and Body Pump which could also bring benefits for your own preparation. Running magazine in Australia often recommends Yoga and endurance weight training as the recipe for boosting your fitness and running speed.
I hope those information can help you
Michael
