Interesting link, especially given some of the advice to middle distance runners given on this thread that their steady runs don't need to be that long. Would be interesting to see what people's opinions were on the Mike Gratton article about reducing mileage for track season.
Also good stuff about Ovett and Moorcroft's training.
Anyway, my week has been as follows:
Mon: 3x300 (100m walk) (50/49/49), 5x800 (3min) (2:24/2:24/2:21/2:21/2:20), 3x300 (48/48/47)
Tue: 45mins steady
Wed: 1500m time trial (4:19)
Thurs: Am: 30mins easy, pm: weights
Fri: 45mins steady
Sat 1h40 steady
Disappointed with form in time trial, as I thought with the quality of Monday night's 300s I would run quicker so went off too fast. Will race 2k next Sunday, although probably won't alter this week's training for it.
Gutted as had a good winter and have carried that on into good spring training so far but no racing for me for a while! bang goes the 3k i was going to do on sunday
how much fitness do you reckon i would lose over that time? will 'jogging' a bit each day help maintain fitness or should i just bite the bullet and rest?
Hope this helps- Rowan
HC, i'm normally pretty good with injuries and don't rush back- still a long season ahead! just annoyed that i haven't raced for a while and had a few good ones lined up for the next month and won't be doing them now. Wouldn't mind if it was a 'proper' running injury! Reckon what might have caused it are the extra press ups i'd been doing lately- should have just stuck to running!
Hope you have a good session Runnerboy
1000m: 3.03 3.05 3.03
200m 30 30 30 29 (into head wind)
very pleased with session as it is early season and i am still not fit. Very confident about breaking 9 mins for 3k by july. How did everyone elses session go today?
I ran on grass today but did roughly 2x6 300m - Striding rather than flatout.
Running today meant i've ran 7 days a week for the first time since november.
good session btw
When I boke 9 mins (8:55the year befoe last), I ran close to it a few times. Last year I ran 8:35. (top age U20)
This year I'm going for shorter distances (1500 + 800m) but hope to (later this year) get get another 20/25 seconds off my 3K time.
i got injured in november, couldn't stand not running, but it is a good time to set real long term goals.
Anyhow, my week:
Mon: am - 45 mins easy, pm - 5 x 900 (3min) 2:44, then all 2:36 - 2:40
Tue: 45mins steady
Wed: 40 min easy
Thur: Rest
Fri: 12 x 30 secs hills
Sat: 30 min easy + a few strides
Sun: Race - 2k (5:46.4) Using it as early season under-distance for 5k and tried to hit 5:40, held 68s through first couple of laps but then faded slightly, not a bad effort as I paced it right but not as fit as I hoped, so a bit more work in training.
As for rest of week, I got a cold mid-week so I dropped the normal Wed session for a steady and took Thurs off but otherwise unaffected.
I hope everyone's had a good week.
Monday 40 mins
Tuesday 10 * 200 (1min) all between 28 and 30)
Weds 40 mins
Thurs/Fri- off injured
Sat/Sun- 20 mins easy
just easy running for me this week as my chest heals. seems to be healing okay so may do a 5k on Friday
