I've trained for 7 marathons using Hal Higdon. I've never done a 1/2 marathon training schedule, per se, but you can't go wrong with Higdon.
Are you thinking about doing Salt Lake?
Yes I am.
I just got back from Wasatch Running Center and after consulting with the guy there, I bought my 1st ever pair of running shoes and a pair of Balga socks.

Do you know of a similar online nutrition/eating schedule that goes hand in hand with something like this?
I don't. I know Nancy Clark has a lot of articles that are geared towards runners. Search around the Runners World web site.
Also, a bit of unsolicited advice. Salt Lake is a very hard race to train for, mostly because it takes place in April, which means you'll be training in the dead of winter. If you're like me and hate treadmills, be prepared to run on ice and snow. I do most of my winter runs on the Jordan River Parkway so I don't have to worry about a car sliding into me on the road. You can also buy spikes that you slip over your running shoes.
Good luck. Feel free to BM me w/ any questions. I'm full of useless running knowledge.
I'll echo this. I bought the book and I think it's useful, but not totally necessary. I cut significant time off my PR (1:45) with this and trained completely injury-free (or even ache-free), which is pretty unusual for me. It's a great program.
I only did the three runs per week, because all of my runs are hill runs (well, except for track workouts), by necessity. I did all the cross-training workouts.
At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

Awesome, my wife is getting this for christmas. Hopefully she will have similar results.
I've seen quite a few of the '26.2' stickers on cars, but lately I've seen more of the '13.1' version. I just wonder if the person starts the full marathon but then quits halfway through.
I want the '6.55' sticker - that may be more my style.
