McMillan Custom Marathon Plan: Week 14 Day 3

Since you mentioned pushups in your post–have you posted anywhere about how you thought through the changes to the 100 pushups page plan? What made you decide to change it, and how did you choose those particular changes?

Hey Nick,

I recently sent out a mass email to everyone on my personal “push ups mailing list”. Apologies for any confusion, I’m just trying to make a good plan a better one. Here’s an excerpt from the email:

“Based on the enormous amount of feedback received over the past two or three months, I’ve spent many an hour fine-tuning, tweaking and updating the six-week program. Many of you felt that the plan had too many “tough” spots and the jump to certain weeks were too severe. Along with several very helpful push ups people, I’ve personally spent the last four or five weeks creating and testing a better six-week challenge. The rate of progression should be smoother but the results just as impressive. Remember, attempting the hundred push ups challenge is no mean feat, and it will definitely test you to your limit. Hopefully the improvements will be well received. If you’re halfway through the program and looking for the original plan, Weeks 1 through 6 are still available for a limited time at the following locations:

http://hundredpushups.com/o_week1.html
http://hundredpushups.com/o_week2.html
http://hundredpushups.com/o_week3.html
http://hundredpushups.com/o_week4.html
http://hundredpushups.com/o_week5.html
http://hundredpushups.com/o_week6.html

Thanks for understanding and please continue to provide feedback on both the new and old six-week programs.”

Hope that helps,
