Still getting used to working the new panama night shift schedule at work, and the accompanying biweekly running plan. Instead of a 6.5, 10.0, and 13.5 mile run each week, I now run 13.5x1(long run), 9.0x3(trail run/recovery run), and 6.5x3(speedwork) every two weeks. Same average mileage of 30 MPW, but spread more evenly throughout the two week period. Do you think only having one “long run”, along with the 3 shorter 9 mile runs every two weeks will have a significant difference in regards to endurance training?
It’ll have an effect but at the end of the day getting the miles in consistently will matter more. Some people have moved to 10 day mileage cycles and yours is close to that. Maybe look into 10 day cycles for more ideas as your shifts keep changing. Always good to have more tools.
