Ugly is in the eye of the beholder!
I'm on my tiny old laptop, so short and sweet. There is no way I can explain my entire handling and training methodology here on the board. I did not say there was no adjusting during a "planned" run, I just said that for myself a planned run is the best runs I have had.
Daisy said running is like driving a car. You are constantly making minor adjustments. In the beginning you are focused hard on what to do, but as you learn, it becomes second nature. It was a lightbulb moment for me.
As long as I run my planned route, NOT to perfection, but a run where I'm watching Koji and making constant adjustments, then it's my ideal run. There will always be needed adjustments, I'm not saying there isn't. I'm not saying those are bad or ugly runs. I am saying FOR MYSELF, running a planned route seems to give me the best runs (even with bobbles). Maybe that's not how it is for you, but that's how it is for me.
Again, this has a lot to do with methodology and how I perceive "planned". Can we discuss things other than my handling/training methods, because I think it's getting out of control and many of you are misunderstanding my way of thinking.
