Its good to be flexible if something isnt working. Another option is to try and modify things to fit with where you are at, (which you have tried to do by doing an evening run but agreed it doesnt have the same training effect especially in that case) and the time you have. <br /><br />I miss a lot of the sessions I have planned, so I either try to play catch up later in the week, or move on to the next week and focus on the following week. <br /><br />I think its better to stick with one program all the way, but what I have done this time is combine the best elements of two good programs identify the key (most important sessions) and try and hit as many of the key sessions as I can, or try to rearrange my training to try and get a simiiar outcome to what I guess the program is trying to achieve at that stage of the month. For example if I am base building and I miss a long run, I might do a back to back long run the following week (e.g. 20k medium run saturday, 30k long run sunday), so I get the benefit of the medium run on saturday, and the long run on tired legs sunday, which makes it feel like 50k cos legs only have 24 hours to recover from the 20k...so get a similiar training effect to doing a 3 sessions in the week, with just 2 sessions on the weekend, as often can't find time to get sessions done during the week... Sorry this is so longwinded but its hard to describe. I have also thought about getting up at 0330 and doing a an 0430 start to get a medium run done with streetlights/headlamp, but its risky injurywise, and hard to get going for. (I am working 0700-1730) All the best with keeping the training momentum going and hope the progression keeps buulding and you find a mix that works best for you.trailblazer777https://www.blogger.com/profile/15260445561233341753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2158705902053871236.post-71859011046311667372012-09-11T18:13:46.140+08:002012-09-11T18:13:46.140+08:00As the Pfitz plan worked so well I reckon you shou...As the Pfitz plan worked so well I reckon you should try not to vary too much from that, even if it means getting up at 4.30. Didn't other plans lead to your calf problems?Ewenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093209634556111656noreply@blogger.com
