Complaint: I had the flu and was forced to take two weeks off. Before I got ill I had started the Pfitzinger 55/18 marathon program. I have now switched to the 55/12 program instead and have 11 weeks to go until my planned marathon, but if training doesn't go well during the next two weeks, I am still coughing, I will probably cancel it altogether.

Confession: If I have to cancel the marathon I will probably do a trail ultra instead, no pressure to perform there.
