4		Thanks for choosing the Trail Half Marathon training plan! The plan on the next tab has been tailored to a general race and base weekly mileage. Every runner however is very different, and we know that you may need to make individualized changes to the plan. Here are some simple guidelines if you need to make changes to match your training.
5		Beginning mileage: each plan has been made to have a ramp-up period in the first couple weeks, where the mileage starts low and slowly builds up to your ideal weekly mileage. If you are already running your goal weekly mileage there is no reason to drop to the lower mileage in the first couple weeks of the plan. Instead, replace the easy runs with your normal longer runs. Maybe run week 3 and 4 instead of week 1 and 2, then repeat 3 and 4 before going on to week 5.
6		Workouts: The workouts are all basic workouts that everyone should be able to figure out with the instructions next to the plan, If you need to change them for more advanced workouts that is fine, but try to keep them a similar intensity as the planned workout, as the intensity of the workouts is balanced with the mileage.
7		Run on dirt and trails as MUCH AS POSSIBLE! You want to get your feet use to the dirt, rocks, manuevring around roots and boulders. If your training day has you scheduled for "trail run", you need to be on the trails that day. No excuses. =)
8		Lastly, always consult a physician prior to beginning any exercise or diet program. Coach Ryan Head is not a licensed physician or medical provider, but rather a certified Running Coach. In no way should the information provided be considered medical advice, and at all times the advice of a medical professional should supersede recommendations from Coach Ryan Head. I assume no responsibility for the improper use of the training plan(s).
