Flatlander Dec 2018 10:41am, 21 Dec 2018 1,333 posts	Quote Pin Flatlander At least the first day of training on Christmas Eve will be a rest day ;-), although Christmas Day will be your first run of the plan which might take some fitting in. With a bit of ingenuity you could persuade everyone that your Christmas present to them is to come running with you

Flatlander - probably me being really dense, but if you had a plan that started on Christmas Eve, why would that be a rest day, and Christmas Day be the first day of training?
fetcheveryone Dec 2018 11:44am, 21 Dec 2018 20,659 posts	Quote Pin fetcheveryone Lots of plans seem to choose Monday as a rest day. Perhaps because Sunday is often a long run.
jennyh Dec 2018 11:47am, 21 Dec 2018 3,561 posts	Quote Pin jennyh Whilst I can see that logic, starting with the first Monday as a rest day just seems a bit odd to me (that may just be because I've never followed a plan that does that though).
