My variant of roseabi’s HM plan

So the photo is my variant of roseabi’s plan. Biggest tweak is moving the long runs in general to Saturday, shuffling the other days to fit and adding a bit of extra running over the Christmas and New Year breaks.

Items in red writing are difficult work days - where there is a run I may have to swap things around that week, avoiding other red days.

Most weeks have 3 runs and follow my favoured Mon, Wed, Sat.

Any observations/criticisms welcomed.

Looks great to me! I'm enjoying seeing how others are tweaking the plan to suit their needs. I'm currently midway through a different plan but was thinking of using roseabi's on my next go in the summer. Thanks for sharing!

Looks good Jay - My variant has the long runs on Wednesdays to allow for Park Runs on Saturday as required.

I have also written mine in a googlesheet, so I can share the viewing link if required.

What are you doing for your cross training. I don't add Cross training myself but I have various other activities I do I'm just not regimented with it. This plan has got me to start thinking about alternatives I could do with more regularity.

For my part, I'm lucky to live on an old farm next to woods and a common. I also have some fitness equipment and lots of animals. So cross for me, will typically mean one of the following:

Static bike

Mountain bike in the woods/common

Dog Walking

Rarely swimming

and various stretches and some squats

My initial “easy option” is to walk. I could do my 5k run as a brisk walk fairly easily. It has the benefit of becoming about 6k because there’s no warm up walk for a walk. And I could extend the turning point slightly to drop in for a glass of water or similar from my favourite bar...

I’d prefer to swim and I might get my finger out and organise that some of the time.

Looks excellent! There's always a bit of juggling to do, and that's a great idea to plan ahead for difficult days.
