** Dropping one of the midweek short easy runs to improve rest and recovery might improve the fitness gains, but it also might undermine the accumulated fatigue that the authors believe are necessary to make sure that distance [[Long Run]]s sufficient.
* [[Overtraining]] risk
** The plan explicitly builds up cumulative fatigue a key contributor to [[Overtraining SyndomeSyndrome]].
** This plan seems to have the good success with runners that have previously burned out on other plans.
** The reduced distance of the [[Long Run]] clearly reduces the training stress, but having a [[Long Run]], two days of speed work and only one day completely off may cause problems.
