 Hi all, I'm sorry if I am wasting your time with questions that you have answered a million times but my searching on the forums seems to.....SUCK.  Anyway, I just started my 20 wk intermediate plan for HIM this week and my run workout was slated for 60' with a 15' wu, 2X1mi (2') and 5' cd.  Now, I'm slow, but I was left with 20+ minutes left.  I'm all about the best bang for my buck, but I felt I needed to finish the 60 with z3 work.  I have also seen that some workouts will not fit in the time allotted in the plan, what do you do then? just go over?  I crossed because my time is limited and I am trying to get the most out of the workouts without being kicked out of the house.  Anyone else run into this?  Thank you.

Dan

    Dan - EN math can get a bit fuzzy at times. General rules:

    • If you're pressed for time just do the MS
    • You can't go wrong filling any extra time with Z3 work.

    Totally fuzzy math. Usually it works in the opposite direction, with more work than will fit in the estimated time.

    It's the dirty little secret of EN Training plans.  They look so short & easy!!!!  They are not!

     Perfectly put, I couldn't get the words right!!!  Very funny, you think you are going to get in shape by doing nothing here!  Bastards.
