hhhmm, I'd like to just do 3 runs really too, I find a day inbetween runs helps enormously. Whilst following Hals beginners in 2006, I found it really hard going by the time the midweek runs had built up to 8 or 9 miles, I usually felt more knackered after those than the long weekend run plus it was really difficulet just to find the time to do them. Mr Sw did it with just the long weekend run and one v. short run mid week, but he did and still does go to the gym 4 times a week for aerobic classes.
I believe Hal's idea of the longer mid week runs are to train you to run on tired legs? I think I'll go with your ideas SP and El G I'll basically cover Hal's beginner mark 2 for the long runs including the 2 X 20 milers, but duck out of one of the mid week runs when I feel the need. I'll try to blog my training here to keep me up to the mark too.
