errr.......moving on, just had a look at that schedule you won't be sticking to.
I don't have the discipline to lay off the beer at the weekend in order to run both days - dare I question your resolve also?? I agree schedules are there to be manipulated but I reckon that one longee at the weekend is enough.
Towards the end of my Dublin training I was only going out twice a week, Wednedsay was a 7 - 10 miler with hills, and Sundays were 16, 18, 16, 20, 18 and 22 before the taper. I am now of the opinion that actually running these huge distances in preparation did more for me than going out 5 times a week would have done.
Each to his own I suppose.
