This year I’d like to increase my mileage but want to do it safely. I’m pretty good at not increasing too much but have never had regular deload weeks. I’ve read that running about 70% of the previous weeks mileage every fourth week with no speedwork is good - does that sound ok?

Also, if I’m looking to increase, is it better to start the next week on the same mileage as the week before the deload week or increase it?

Echoing what Arducius said, the plan is good but listening to your body is better. If after say two wks your body is feeling knackered it's way better to take a day off rather than hammer through.

Having said that, I often enjoy hammering through and then getting injured.
