How far should I run?
You should follow your training plan and not be tempted to do too much too soon. However, you may not have chosen the right plan for you at the outset. If you find that you consistently rate yourself better or worse than your plan suggests you should be, you can change to something either more or less demanding. You can do this at any time during your training.
