Good luck. Be reminded the document from 2001 prepared for the UM women's rowing team is more or less a Cliff's Notes version of the Wolverine Plan. It's a good start, but there's a lot more explanation available if you are interested. I recommend the archives of the old forum, specifically the "Wolverine Plan Discussion" thread (you do have to wade through a lot of fluff by trolls and thread hijackers but I address practically every question ever asked about the WP).

Returning to the OP's question, the Pete Plan borrows heavily from the WP but omits L4 workouts as I understand it. You may do well with it if you have the base miles. All about that base, 'bout that base. Jack

Thanks, Mike! It's epic that you responded!

And yes, indeed, I've read the original PDF, the "remarks" PDF (http://www.eudemonia.co.uk/wp%20notes.pdf), and this discussion thread (http://concept2.van-diepen.nl/forum/Wol ... ion_02.htm), all thoroughly, and they're all bookmarked and ready for re-reading.
