So I’ve made a switch from mileage to training load to create the plan. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE!!

Why change when it’s clearly working you might ask? Because I think these plans are even better and result in more consistent training from one week to the next and also ensure the training is progressive, not just over the next 4-5 months but beyond.

I love your goals. There are a lot of races in there so during that busy February/March period it will be a case of reigning in the sessions a little and then once we pass Hastings Half we can get a couple of really good long runs in to prepare for Milton Keynes.

Something new I’ve tried to do is set the same sessions for members on the team of equal ability. So what I’ve done on a few occasions is set you the same half marathon session as myself in the hope we could potential pair up and run them together.

We can discuss nearer the time and if it doesn’t happen, so be it, but having the schedules tie in seems a good approach and I’ll do the same if there is anyone else on the team of a similar ability also aiming for a good half marathon time.

To be honest though, really it’s just more of the same. What you are doing is working. As you said, running injury free is so important and we should never take it for granted.

So the new plan will have a similar feel to the old, just with slightly more challenging long runs that before. But I’m excited to see if we can continue to improve your running.

I’ve updated the ratings from before. If there are any you don’t quite agree with then feel free to update.
