Hi Team!

I am in a half marathon training plan and am on the Low Volume plan. My HM is in September, but I have a B race, a 10K, at the beginning of June.  
I am running 4 days a week, and per the plan, this has been Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, which is going well.  
All of a sudden the plan has changed next week to runs on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. This strikes me as strange. I can’t see an advantage to running 4 consecutive days when I’m only running 4 days per week. This seems to me like it could compromise recovery and increase injury risk.  
Just wanted to check if this was intentional, or some blip in the program. Unless there is a convincing reason, I will simply move the runs around back to where they usually are.

Thanks!  
Alyssa

Hey Alyssa,  
Always trust your gut feeling. Please go ahead and move them apart like you suggest. Is this only one week? Please share screenshot

Hi Marjaana,  
Thanks so much for your reply! Yes, just a single week like this (see below), then it’s back to normal. I will just switch them up!
