I’m due to start the Level 2 plan from the 80/20 (Running) book on Monday.
The thing is, I started following the plan 6 weeks ago (to try out 8020 running, to try out this plan, and to tide me over until the official start date for the plan). In hindsight, I guess I’d have been better following a maintenance plan!
Now that I’m about to finish week 6, my question is what should I do next week, to put me in the best position for the marathon in 18 weeks time?
I figure the three options are:
– restart the plan from week 1
– repeat week 6 for the next 6 weeks, then follow the plan from week 7
– restart the plan from week 1 (but maybe keep the long runs at 10-12 miles to keep up the mileage?)
Would really appreciate any thoughts/advice.
