The third edition is out as of last month, but I heard almost nothing is different.

Just noticed that Pfitz has a 3rd edition of Advanced Marathoning out. Does anyone know what's changed? Or if it's worth getting if I already have the 2nd edition?

It is important to note how they explain the paces for each of the runs. There are mixes of easy/hard runs for a purpose and you should make sure your easy runs are actually easy. Use a recent race to determine your training paces using a calculator like VDOT or McMillian Running.

Higdon (I would advise on selecting one of these for a beginner, probably novice 2)
Hanson
Pfitz (probably too advanced for you right now since it is designed for people that have finished a marathon)

Another option is to join a running group. Many running stores such as Fleet Feet or Jack Rabbit offer marathon training programs. They will provide you with their own plan, running routes for the plan, and coaches and more experienced runners to gain advice from which is valuable for things like knowing your paces and learning about fueling. Plus it is much easier to run 20-milers when you are talking to others.
