Ed,

Thanks for the file. I have had a look and can see what RunCoach is trying to do. The week previous was a total of 57 miles and this was programmed as a hard week with a big long run. RunCoach then schedules an easy week with a long run reduction and total miles of 56. It follows this with a hard week and focuses on the long run, increasing to 68 miles for the week. The overall increment over the two week period is about 10% per week from the 57 week but RunCoach puts most of these in the harder second week.

I will have a look at smoothing these increases better in the future.

All the best,

Paul
