Okay, I am week 5 finished session 1 and have session 2 tomorrow or Wednesday (WX dependent). As you can see this is a basic "time" plan 3 runs a week, with the hard run, the easy run and then the medium run ( Goldie Locks would be SO proud) with an easier "rest and recovery week every 4th week. In January there is a local 5 K / 15 K. I would really like to do the 15 K. How would I continue the below plan to be ready for the 15K? Say I add 3 weeks, and make this into a 16 week plan, what times would I bump up to over the final 3 weeks?
