Thanks Shades for the plan.
Nice comfortable world you live in, Count!
Despite the best preparations, things can still go wrong.
I'm not sure how you can eat properly in the run-up to a marathon to ensure you don't run out of glycogen? if you could, then surely there's no need for energy drinks on the way round?
Thanks.
Your 10k and 10 mile times are in line with each other. Based on these you could do a 2.20 half and a 4.52 full.
From your half and full marathon times (which are not in line with each other or the other distances)I would say that it's your endurance that you need to work on.
Training paces - long run 11.40 to 12.40 min/miles - so you are running too fast for your long runs now.
Easy - about 11.30 to 12.10, which is what you are already doing.
Tempo - 10.05 to 10.30.
any comments are welcome, you are all very quiet!
"busy folk, who work, maybe have children to look after and just do not have the time"
:-))
are feeling Ok now? I saw a posting of yours saying that you were feeling a bit jaded?
Could you send me a copy? I have half an idea to give to to my girlfriend, who is capable of running a 48-min 10k off one or two random runs a week.
With your schedule, and running 3-4 times a week, she should be more than able to dip under 3 hours I reckon!
I don't have a long term plan, as different issues crop up in training which need addressing. E.g. I have trouble hitting the times on faster intervals so sometimes it is necessary to look at running faster for shorter distances in order to stimulate the right muscles.
I was posting a light hearted thread title. However I'll post what this week should look like on that thread...
I'm printing it off now to sit and study tonight when the rug rats are in bed
Really appreciate this
I was interested in your comments about my race times - I think my 10k and 10 mile times are where I am - my 1/2 mara was an off-road race undertaken in 30C in July and I was undoubtedly ill-prepared for my marathon! Time will tell whether I can work on my endurance!
Did my 5 mile tempo run tonight at club so 1st run ticked off the training schedule!!
BR - please post on your thread that 0-100mpw, I've always wanted to try that - don't post it on here!
sian - your endurance will improve with long runs at the right pace. Are you doing any races in the New Year?
cheers, Sue
I have sent you an e-mail! I'd love a copy.
Thanks

I will probably be doing Glos 20 too, don't worry about the cut off - which I don't think will be a problem for you anyway. Nice event Glos 20.
