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 – RLMSShall 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!
Wow, I see that plans been updated. Now it suggest following for week 15:
Mon – Rest
Tue – RFR43
Wed – RF26
Thu – RF26
Fri – RHR46
Sat – RF26
Sun – RL29Shall I change this week to:
Mon – Rest
Tue – RFR43
Wed – RF26
Thu – Rest
Fri – RF26
Sat – Race
Sun – RestAnd continue week 16 as per plan?
I’m using your suggestion on following post – https://www.8020endurance.com/topic/race-on-saturday/
Mulk,
We indeed are in the process of updating the half marathon Pace-based plans. Looks like you loaded the plan just after that update. We’re excited to announce these new plans soon, but want to wait until the Power and HR versions are complete.
You’re proposal is exactly right, with one change. Cut the Friday RF26 to just 25 minutes.
David
