In the end I abandoned the idea of a ‘strict’ training plan, I would never stick to it - life always gets in the way. I’m going to stick to what’s has served me well so far - a minimum of two short runs a week, ideally tempo and speed work, and gradually increasing length long runs including ‘cut backs’.
