I really appreciate the advice regarding non-traditional training week lengths. Makes a lot of sense, during my last training phase I kept trying to squeeze in 2 workouts plus a long run each week, but my consistency suffered as I got run down too often.

Something I’d like to see in the future would be a discussion of training in the heat. Sounds like it can have a lot of benefits, if done properly. I know some folks that even take to wearing track suits during easy runs, just to (supposedly) increase the heat adaptation benefits! What are your thoughts on training in the heat – when/how frequently should a runner seek it out, versus sticking to the cooler parts the day?
