yeah I used the plan from the book. I would suggest if you have it in you that you do as I did and add on the recommended 1.5-2 miles warm up and cool down around your speed/tempo sessions if you can fit them in to maximise the amount of benefit you get from the training in the meat of the plan if you intend to mess around with things towards the end. just make sure you stick to the prescribed paces even if you feel like you can go faster as that will stitch you up when the mileage starts to ramp up and youve pushed yourself too much.
and you will feel absolutely knackered on the plan a fair bit so dont be surprised, but it's mostly just mental and after a mile or two of your next run your legs will feel fine again.
@Grand-Wizard-Goma-Sauce and I have both been through the plan so feel free to ask questions if you're worried it's not working or anything. as it's good to know that what you're experiencing is to be expected because it's a bit more intense than a normal plan.
