ok. so I look at peoples' logs here and there and I'm amazed at the schedules/lack there of, people keep. Many seem to have no rhyme or reason. How many of you follow a plan? or at least some kind of schedule? or do you just get out there and think, "ehn. I think I'll just run today." Because that kinda blows my mind. Some of you rarely ever take a day of rest! Are you aiming to improve and do you think running everyday helps? I think maybe I'm a bit rigid, LOL. I have to follow a training plan and if I'm not training for something specific, I still want to keep some kind of schedule based on what my training would be like. Sometimes I feel like running on my 2 days off but I don't. I think if I let myself run on my scheduled days off I might go into some kind of running obsessed neverneverland. As it is, I sometimes tack on an extra mile here and there ... and I don't tell dh it's more. Now if I could just be more consistent in my different workouts my graph would have a pretty little color pattern to it.

I'm currently following a specific marathon training plan for the past 2 weeks. I'm making every attempt to not run on the rest days, but I faltered and did a recovery 4 miles on Wed. My Marathon Training Plan Prior to my marathon training, I would run whatever I felt like, keeping in mind the number of miles I wanted to hit for the week. I know some folks here run almost every day, but I like to have 2 rest days.

I usually have no formal plans except to keep mileage up when I am not training for a marathon or other race. I run when, where and how much based on how I feel. If you look at my graph you see that I'm all over the place. Just the way I like it.
