A new experiment: Former London Marathon winner Mike Gratton is coaching four RW website runners live on these forums.
Dawn Critchell (aka Hilly) is 40
Her PBs are: 10K 42:06, marathon 3:26
Her target is to run 3:15 at Cardiff Marathon on October 3
Mike thinks: Dawn needs to develop more speed endurance
Mike will coach Dawn directly on this thread. Feel free to ask if you don't understand something Mike says, but please try not to hijack the thread.
You can read more about Dawn and Mike - and the other runners and the idea behind this thread - by clicking on the article link at the top of the thread.
Otherwise, read and enjoy!
Sean, RW

I'd be interested to hear Mike's thoughts on Hilly's "resting" regimes! :-)
Good luck peeps!
5K - 6:40 miling
10K - 6:46
10M - 7:00
1/2 - 7:10
Mar - 7:51
To hit you marathon time you need to do 7:26 miling.
Looking forward to the thread ...

Bryan-rest-what's that word?!
Right Mike as you know I've got an injury which I've sort of been resting!
I am about to pick up running again starting tomorrow night with a 5k race. I'm not going to race it flat out as this might not be good for recent injury.
This weeks training is planned as this, what do you think?
Mon-did 15 miles hard hilly cycle
Tues-800m swim
Wed-5k race
Thurs-10 miles steady
Fri-5 miles marathon pace plus 1hr circuits
Sat-5 miles easy
Sun-17 miles easy

Again, been at that level too and achieved the same goal
Thanks for the vote of confidence URR. I try to believe I can do it as long as I can stay injury free, which seems to be my biggest hurdle this year so far!

Thats some training for a comeback,
Very interesting thread.
The comeback isn't really a comeback as I've still been running up until a week ago and have done cv work every day. The injury is more annoying than serious as it stops faster running. Gentle running is ok. The physio said I could still run, but to ease off if painful. As most of you who know me on these forums are aware I'm a little impatient with injuries!

I wouldn't do a 5k though if I thought it would make it worse.
