Apologies if it's taboo to mention the mag here.

This month they've got a half marathon special including training plans. Now there are many things that annoy me about RW not least their complete blindness to the metric system unless they're mentioning a race distance But the one that has be sitting here exclaiming "Why!?" is the beginner's plan. They specifically state it's for runners who are "consistently logging between 15 and 20 miles per week, with a long run of at least six miles" so why on earth does it start with a total weekly mileage of 9 miles and a long run of 4? It's not until week 9 of a 12 week plan that you get back to doing 20 miles a week!

Sorry, rant over.

Aside from the C25K beginner's schedule, I've found RW training schedules to be pretty much shite.

Why would it be taboo to mention RW here, when adverbs for RW are everywhere? Indeed, I'm sure I've seen FE described as "a RW site" ...

It makes the whole of Fetch into a clique that looks down on RW. it's just a convention.

I don't look down on anyone, I'm too short.

It's just the usual rivalry between your village and the next one.

It's ok to swing both ways, isn't it?
