Nobody seemed to notice that I got my dates all wrong when I accidentally posted this week’s training last week. Rather than doing last week’s training (which was this week’s) again, I thought we should do last week’s planned training this week. So: not this week’s training which we did last week, but last week’s training which we’re going to do this week.
Confused? Good. You’ve hopefully forgotten that I made a mistake. Here’s the plan:
SUNDAY 24th Long run
MONDAY 25th 5 miles steady
TUESDAY 26th 2 X 6 laps (1.5M) tempo run (5 min recovery), 2 x 200m fast 1mile warm up 1mile warm down
WEDNESDAY 27th 5 miles steady
THURSDAY 28th Fartlek 3 miles, 100m to 500m bursts (1mile warm up, 1 mile warm down)
FRIDAY 29th Rest day
SATURDAY 30th Race or easy 5 miles
Another intensive training week. Tuesday looks tasty:
SUNDAY 24th Long run
MONDAY 25th 5 mile steady
TUESDAY 26th 10 x 400m (200 jog recovery), 2 x 100m fast, 1mile w/u 1mile w/d
WEDNESDAY 27th 5 mile steady
THURSDAY 28th Fartlek 4 miles (1mile warm up 2 miles Fartlek, 1mile warm down)
FRIDAY 29th Rest day
SATURDAY 30th Race or sustained run
Kudos to all those that ran the Manchester League Cross Country on Saturday despite the disappointing lack of rain and above-zero temperatures. Your reward … is another intensive training week:
