Nice plan, but I don't understand the purpose of the 'actual' column.

Its so that you can record what distance you actually ran.

I took a look at the training spreadsheet I kept for the Cork marathon & I did four 20 mile+ runs leading up to it :- 20.5, 21, 22 & 23. Last one was three weeks beforehand. Will admit it did boost my confidence that I'd make it to the finish line after I did the 23 mile one as figured I'd surely be able to mange another 3 and a bit miles on the day!

That was just my own experience, only running since last Nov so very much a newbie

Or maybe you'll go further than the plan, and get a little satisfaction in doing so

I'm most dreadfully embarassed:o:o:o

However, in my defence, it is possible to run more than planned and it is nice to record that too.
