Is it worth it trying NSM 5 days a week + holidays question
I've been learning about Norwegian Singles for the last weeks, read the famous book, read lots of posts on this sub and I'm really intrigued about trying to apply some concepts of it.
The thing is - do you guys think it makes sense to try it 5 days a week instead of 6 or 7? I'm used to 30-35k per week nowadays (very slow runner, my 5k is around 29:00) and have a somewhat physical job (a lot of time standing on my feet). I reckon the mental burden of one or none days off would be too much for me, even if it's physically doable, plus the social side of it.
I know the plan is designed for the loads to be completely manageable, and the benefits come from traning as much as possible without overdoing it. Do you think these benefits are still there if you do it 5 days? Is this approach worth it in these cases? I've seen people in this sub doing it - and improving - but I'm curious to see the general feeling about it. Does a more standard training system makes more sense than NSM if you don't commit to 6/7 days per week?
I'm also curious to know about holiday training. For those of you training every day, do you stop somewhat when you are on vacation?
