marathon-to-couch training

i'm thinking of marketing and selling an online marathon-to-couch training program.  it would go something like this:

get started!!
set your sights on a race that is completely out of your league.  a marathon! better yet, make it a trail marathon.

start training!!
go online and find every possible training program.  print them all out.  then make your own. follow it obsessively.

run your race!!
complete your race.

do whatever!!
now that you have completed your race, be completely in the dark that there is a post-race recovery plan.  just do whatever.

get injured!!
this is where i recommend a hamstring strain or maybe even a torn meniscus. really, whatever you can come up with.  it shouldn't take too much thought and there are any number of good options, particularly if you are over 40.

bed up!!
relax and enjoy some law & order and the warmth of those extra pounds.
