Thanks! I do not have a coach, but made a mix of the Pfitzinger 18/55 and 18/70 programs with some adjustments based on the type of goal I have at that time. For example I swapped some of the tempo blocks for hill training or sometimes interval <=> tempo runs.

What works for me is to drop the data charts (speed & heartrate) and lap times, into chatGPT and ask it to analyse my run and do a suggestion how to finetune my next planned workout given my next goal (in my case sub 3 & Jungfrau in Q2 + Q3 2026 and 2 fun marathons in Q1 + Q2). Output gives quite some nice insights!

Strides are awesome, mostly as tool to get custom to improving running technique. Great to include in 2 - 3 easy sessions a week (4 - 6 strides of 15 - 20 sec at 80-90% power).
