I think you are saying:
#1 Stick to the plan days 3 to 8.
#2 You can alter the plan day 9 to 18 to get fitter faster.
#3 Make sure you race (or parkrun) on day 19.
Correct?
I've got another question on my mind if I may?
I've spent as much time injured in my 15 months of starting to run as I have actually running. When I started your programme in June I'd just got back from injury after running 5 to 6 days a week for 3 months after taking up running. I recognized from your advice that I haad been over doing it on the recovery runs the first time round (~165 BPM). So I tried keeping the easy runs < 150BPM but even that broke me after 3 months. I think this must be because my body cannot handle 5 to 6 runs a week regardless of intentisty. Do you agree that this time round keeping the number of runs a week to 3 or 4 should be a priority?
Assuming you agree, will I get faster quicker by replacing the runs I don't do with bike rides (in gym)? Assuming so I guess the bike ride should be ~145 BPM with the same duration as the run from the training plan?
I guess what I'm asking is whats the best way for someone with little running experience & with a body that has been broken twice in 3 months by running 5 to 6 days a week to advance as quickly as possible?
Thanks
