Good point! I’ll make sure to look at what kind of workouts are in the beginning of the plan.

Glad it’s helpful. It’s actually important to skip beginning weeks that have significantly less mileage, because you may be de-training.

One thing to pay attention to is key workouts, though. Weeks that have equal mileage but different workouts than you do (like hill repeats or tempo runs) would not be equivalent. Skipping too far into a plan like that could cause problems.

Good luck and let me know which plan you pick!

I’ve been worried that I’m not starting a plan soon enough and any plan I choose will be longer than the amount of time I have left before the half. Thank you for the tip that I can skip the first few weeks if my mileage surpasses that – it’ll help a lot time-wise!
