The plan is pretty short compared to other ultra training plans I’ve seen. (16-24 weeks) Is it some sort of compacted plan?
Yeah, I found (generated, really) it on some random ultrarunning site, so perhaps the assumption is that it’s for someone who’s already used to some mileage - but then it’s perhaps odd to me that it starts out so light.

I don't want to steal her thunder, but RBN1 ran a long ways today. She rocks. Just saying.
Internet Doctor
At shufflingalong's suggestion I headed over to Runner's World today to research my knee pain while eating lunch. Why I didn't start there to begin with I don't know. A generic Google search wasn't very helpful.
I found the following "Ask the Doctor" article and it fits pretty well.
Ask the Doctor
The symptoms are right on and I can identify with the causes. Immediately after the marathon (as in standing in the finish chute wondering if I could even reach my knees) my hammies were really tight and still are today. Some of my quads are certainly plenty strong, but I can see how all of my biking hasn't strengthened the inner quads or hips.
I even had something like this my sophomore year of high school. I remember the pain being a little different (more intense and different though I couldn't tell you how this many years later), but basically the same diagnosis, poor hamstring flexibility.
The good news is that there are some suggested exercises that are easy enough. The best news though is it says you can run through it. Yay! Now to not go overboard getting back into it and causing something else.

Heat sucks but I'm not a fan of cold weather either. Maybe I just need better gear idk. Last time I ran outdoors in the winter, I still got really sweaty and then it all froze to me. My clothes were crunchy! Damn mn winters.
You need to pick up cross country skiing in the winter. Seriously! The right gear definitely helps.

I hide indoors during the summer. 40 degrees out is just about right for me!
Absolutely. 40 is perfect for running. Bring on October!

I hate summer too! I'm all about the Fall. :)
Winter, Fall, Spring, Summer. If I didn't ski fall might be better than winter. But since I do and and it is hands down my favorite athletic pursuit it makes winter the clear winner.

I'll be there Friday too! I'll look for your shirt :)
I'm guessing there will be 200+ of them there, so if you keep your eyes peeled I'm sure you can spot a few.
