I've been following a training plan for my upcoming marathon, but I've had to take a few rest days due to illness. How often do you revise your plan when life gets in the way? Do you stick to the original plan or adjust as needed?
Life gets in the way? That's just an excuse for being human. I revise my plan daily. Okay, fine, hourly. Okay, fine, every time I check my Strava feed and see someone else's workout.
I revise my plan as needed. Life happens, and it's better to adjust than risk injury or burnout. Prioritize recovery and adjust the plan accordingly.
