I usually try to run the fast intervals a little above race pace. If a fartlek is written 8,7,7,6,6,4,4,2,2,1,1 you start with 8min fast, then 7min recovery, 7min fast, then 6min recovery, and so one. I like to warm up for 15-20min and then run the fartlek before cooling down.

Maybe run week 3 and 4 instead of week 1 and 2, then repeat 3 and 4 before going on to week 5. Instead, replace the easy runs with your normal longer runs. 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. 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.Here are some simple guidelines if you need to make changes to match your training. Every runner however is very different, and we know that you may need to make individualized changes to the plan.
