I tried a 10 day cycle about 10 years ago, but found an 8 day was easier for my brain to handle writing the training plan. My 8 day-er was two 4 day cycles: easy, speed,long,easy. The first 4 days was threshold and "short" long and the second 4 was fartlek (whatever fit that point of the cycle) and "long" long with the 8th day resting. It worked really well and allowed me to catch up if I had to miss a long run, speed session, etc. My problem w/two 5 day cycles was too many "easy" days. I didn't know what to do with them. In retrospect, I should have made those days doubles...would've been a good way to gently increase the mileage. |

Try a simple Hansons like approach for marathon training 3 day mini-cycle Day 1: Hard Workout Day 2: Easy Run Day 3: Easy Run Structure your hard workouts on this sequence: Hard Workout # 1: Threshold repeats Hard Workout # 2: Threshold repeats Hard Workout # 3: Long Run Hard Workout # 4: Speed Work Hard Workout # 5: Threshold repeats Hard Workout # 6: Long Run Threshold repeats are repeats of 1.5 to 6 miles in length, totaling 8-12 miles of repeats done at marathon pace to 10 second per mile faster. Speed Work is repeats of 1k to 1 mile in length, totaling 5-6 miles of repeats done at 8k to 10k race pace. Long Runs are 18-22 miles with 3 miles at marathon race pace late in the run. |

8 days would be better: Easy Hard Easy Hard.... |

That's an interesting variation on the traditional Hard Easy pattern. |
