good infoz 
bah, sortoff
you need to stenghten muscles and lose fat. this schedule its primary goal is to make you cut of as much fat as you can, while conditionning muscles for more endurance performance with a flavor of explisiveness
basically, you want stamina to last the game, some power to kick it around, and explosiveness for your acceleration.
this is by no means a professional hand tailored schedule. but "to get in excellent preseason shape" this is gonna be pretty good

So you don't want to be a marathon runner and still want to run 4-5 times a week? I said I reach the 35-40 km only when preparing for the half marathon and during the rest of the year I run twice or three times per week with 10 km being the longest distance most of the time. Only when I want to totally meditate I go for a 15er at slow tempo. So to answer your question, no don't run 4-5 times per week, your legs won't let you unless you are a good runner.

No I haven't, the longest I have run is 30km on a hilly terrain. I wanted to do it three years ago but then we got our first child and I don't want to run a marathon without being really prepared. I would probably finish a marathon but I always have high expectations when participating (of course to my standard, competition with myself is the first competition). If I am to run a marathon I would want to set a time limit and most importantly I would want to be able to walk the day after.

I have two questions:
1. Women can work out the same way men do, correct? I always figured that's how it should be. No supplements or anything like that, two days a week at my school's sub-par gym.
2. I want to start doing pull ups again because they're amazing. I work upper body one day and lower body another, now should I start or end with pull ups on my upper body day?

Depends. You can do pullups on the bicep (close gripped) or on the back (wide gripped)
forget about bicep, go wide gripped.
An truely excellent start to any back training is "wide grip pullups, do 50 of them in as few sets as you can" Yes you will be warmed up

Both close gripped and wide gripped, alternating between the two, 4 sets of both until exhaustion is what I would plan on doing
. That should be a warmup though?- - - Updated - - -
I take one of my friends to the gym. She asks me what to do, and I make her do whatever I do. Just wondering if it would for some strange reason somehow be harmful or something.
Edit: Not if they DO, if they SHOULD.
Ok. I'll probably be dead afterwards but I'll try it out one week and see how it goes. I'd say I'm not even a third of you, 5'5" and 152 pounds 
.
It's pretty entertaining.

Good. The stereotypical ones that just go walk on a treadmill for 45 minutes and then take up the hip adduction/abduction machine for the next hour on the lowest weight piss me off.
