    Just a follow up to a thread earlier. Just wondered how people come up with their training plans etc

    There seem to be a few options.

    1. Coached
    2. Self coached
    3. Book Follower , HH , P&D or maeve binchy

    How do you come about your training plan.. 37 votes

    Self coached which i dont think is ideal as i am my own worst enemy. Atleast with other people i stick to plan where as with myself a bad race can lead to clouding of judgement and losing sight of long term goals from time to time

    Think there's a 4th option needed for eejits like me.

    Play it by ear.

    It's P&D for me. I'll see in 3 months time whether I was better off reading maeve binchy ...

    All of the above.

    I tend to know what works for me, what my weak areas are etc.
    I'm always reading to see if there is a way to fine tune things.
    Meet with the club coach about every 6-8 weeks for a coffee and he reviews my schedule and we change a few things on agreement and Robert's your mother's brother! Then I send him a weekly update and he gives me feedback.
    No structured plan at the moment since the injury, just tipping along until mid-Sept when i'll get serious again.

    All of the above for me also.

    I come up with my own plans, and mostly train on my own, but have read several books on training & programs, and every couple of months discuss my training plan with an established coach, for opinion and guidance.
