Yeah, that's an issue with many of the training threads over here on FE that pre-dates even me tbh. It's across all distances too whether that's the sub 18 5k thread or the sub 40 10k thread, the titles can put people off when the discussions really relate widely to all. I've tried to suggest change in the past but there's a lot of inertia. Everyone will work out where they feel most comfortable and there's an awful lot of overlap across the threads anyway. |

Windsor Wool - there are many runners that want/prefer a finish time defined plan. After years of following RW threads I have seen so many failures in achieving their goals for many reasons. |

After years of following RW threads I have seen so many failures in achieving their goals for many reasons. I know. I wish more folks would simply try and optimise their training and then see where that takes them. I can't really criticise though, I spent the 1st 15 years of my running career focussed on arbitrary time targets! |

If I had another marathon in me I would find this thread useful! I followed a three runs a week plan for my first in April 2021 (and managed 4hr 45)

Ian - you've already done some decent training this week and you're still regaining your fitness to pre injury, so a rest day is a good idea. Jen HB - perhaps we can persuade you to do another marathon sometime. 🙂 It's not that long since your last one. |

Shades - I did intend to do another, but since then I've been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and currently don't think it would be sensible! (see some of my blogs)

Jen HB oh, sorry to hear that. But you've done one marathon and done it well, first marathon is always the biggest achievement. Off to read your blogs. |
