There are certain things you can do to make your program work for you such as move your runs around to accommodate work or life events but the idea is to get you from point A to point B in a safe and healthy manner (no injuries!) so if you change too much you may lose the integrity of the program. It’s always best to consult with Coach Carey before making any customizations.
