Hi Dave,
I’ve just started my 18 weeks journey to my first Marathon on Level 1 training plan. Thank you for all the previous responses in this forum that helped me with proper understanding of zones and plans, they provided me invaluable help.
I also want to include Half Marathon on week 15 as recommended in Planning Your Race Season – https://www.8020endurance.com/planning-your-race-season/
The problem is that this race happens on Saturday instead of Sunday. So I cannot replace RLMS workout (and frankly I do not want to replace it as it’s falling into RRe5 Saturday training.
How it’s better to tailor this week?
Mon – Rest
Tue – RT2
Wed – RRe5
Thu – RF5
Fri – RMI1
Sat – RRe5 (actual Half-Marathon day)
Sun – RLMS
Shall weeks before and after needs to be tailored as well? Or shall I move RLMS, as it’s the longest one, to week 14 or week 16 replacing RLSP2 or RLFF5 workouts?
Thank you in advance!
