Traditional running schedules rotate around our 7-day workweek and the weekend long run. After a brief preview of the upcoming New York City Marathon in our intro, we discuss possible layouts of hard and easy sessions within that 7-day cycle. Then we analyze constructions, as well as pros and cons, of alternative cycle options lasting 9, 10, 11, 12, and 14 days. Could getting away from the weekly calendar be best for you?
