    assuming you are already comfortable with doubling 6/10, I would prefer plan A because it includes a rest day and I am a big fan of rest days. but I would also swap Fri and Sat around so that the hill day does not precede the long run.

    Cheers.

    If you're comfortable doing the high miles then you could do the 6 days
