thanks I'm in, loaded the plan, will start Monday. Can I use he treadmill for some of these runs? I ran a warm up this AM then a "hard " mile and a cooldown mile this morning. I will use that 1 mile to calculate the zones initially. Put them in my profile.

I'm working the run durability plan as prescribed. I'm doing a couple runs on the TM. I thought I read somewhere on the site 1% grade. Is that correct?

This weekend I will complete the 4 wk initial run durability plan. It has gone well and running has improved as has my speed. Where do I go from here?
Here's how you share stuff via your FREE Garmin Connect profile (where your uploaded workouts): https://connect.garmin.com/features/share
You can create a FREE Strava account (www.strava.com) and then sync Garmin Connect to it (http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2014/08/automatic-mapmyfitness-endomondo.html). This is nice because you can join the Endurance Nation group on Strava (https://www.strava.com/clubs/search and search for Endurance Nation) then set your First Name to be "Jim Passais" and your Last Name to be (EnduranceNation.us)...now you are official!!!

Wanted to provide a quick update and get your thoughts. My schedule has been extremely busy the past couple weeks. Hence getting all the workouts in has been a challenge. Plus it's about time to move the bike indoors. What I am not trying to miss are the runs on the run durability 2. I may need to use the Monday rest up day instead of taking it off based on my weekly schedule and I currently don't have 2 hrs outside to ride. Running is getting stronger each week. If you have suggestions about the bike ride or other parts let me know. Things will likely settle down but in the meantime your thoughts are helpful... otherwise I will do everything possible to make the runs, Can usually fit a swim in somewhere, Ride the trainer 60-90 minutes at one setting?
Your "rest day" can be flexible...I do that too...I use my Monday as a training day, because I expect life will just crush some other day, and that "extra" workout is now in the bank.
If you are home on the weekends for sure, you can spli tthat ride across both days...one hour each day (one quality, other steady) if that makes it more palatable on the trainer. Thoughts? You can always do one ride on Saturday, but want to be mindful of your schedule!
Let me know what you think!

I finished up run durability 2, Loaded #3 and will get to work on it. I assume that would be your recommendation. Running is improved overall. I may update my zones based on some of my recent times. Jim
I know you've been slammed, so hitting your baseline metrics is great right now! Keep it up, November's almost here!!!
