Progression
Having covered the reasoning and rough plan of my training in a rather long-winded way, I thought it would be best to make things more practical. Instead of paragraphs of reasoning or justifications for what I am doing, I'll simply write down, what I plan to do. Racing No racing for the rest of the year. Just an attempt to get in a reasonable training load up until Christmas. Once into the new year I'll have a think about how my training is going, work out when my leave is likely to be and decide on what races I want to do. I still think starting out with getting my 10km time down before hitting the marathon again is the way I'll head. Template There is a template for my weekly (which is really a 7-9 day cycle) training. The order of each session will vary depending on work. family and other life commitments.

You're doing well. Any thoughts of hiring or buying a treadmill? I've seen those fold-up 16kph ones on eBay for around $500 second hand.
ReplyDeletePersonally we bought a life fitness treadmill for about $1000 off eBay. Goes to 20 or 21km/hr. It's no frills, seems to wear reasonbly quickly but does it's job. Also the speeds are a bit out. Saying it's faster by about 0.5km/hr than it really is. The key I think is getting as much continuous horse power as possible. (peak power almost irrelevant). You don't want it straining at common speeds. Paying for programs and other features is a quick way to up the price for not much improvement in what you really need.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jason. I was almost tempted this winter, partly for early morning 2nd (short) runs and partly for the (sometimes) terrible weather. Will keep an eye out for that type of thing in the coming months.
