Hi Doug,
The order doesn't matter too much but what is important is that you avoid running two hard sessions back to back. The aim is to get to the start line in one piece and too much hard training on consecutive days can lead down the injury path…
My program for this week as follows:
Sun - long run (9 miles)
Tues - easy run (3 miles)
Thurs - speedwork (mile at threshold and half mile recovery x 3)
Fri - tempo (4 miles)
Sun - long run (9 miles)
However, in fact I did the long run on Satu…
SMART? Management speak on here? Shame on you ;) (SMART actually is the acronym used at my work to describe the sorts of targets I should be setting myself there!)
The Sweatshop runs leave at 6:30pm I think, but I'd double check on that. I'll be doing the Wednesday evening seminars on the first Wednesday of every month up to the race. We'll be focusing on a different aspect of training in each one, but I'll gi…
Will you be doing anymore seminars on a wednesday night. I missed the last one as I was working and would really be interested in coming along
What time are the Monday runs from the sweatshop?
Yes they're up and running again. I think they're getting about 20 to 30 along to the sessions which is great for this time of year.
The runs are on Monday nights but I'm going along on Wednesday night next week to do a short seminar on training p…
Now that the RHM 2010 is "live", are there runs from Sweatshop?
I know these stopped temporarily after the RHM, does anyone knwo if they've started up again yet?
Yep - very annoying!
I know of someone who had some BAD stomach cramps and VERY much desired a poo (sorry!) during long runs! But what can you do? The body is the body! Whether it's the latter, or the easier and quicker toilet break, take the break…
Not a silly question at all. These embarrassing things happen to all of us, including the best like Paula Radcliffe.
Part of final racing preparation is ensuring that these things do not happen. That means making a stop at the toilets before approa…
So I've chosen my desired pace, am keeping up with appropriate pacemaker, and then ... nature calls! I stop and do the necessary and the next water station (no point in not doing so, can become uncomfotable, I'm then thinking about something else ot…
Hi Spoogie,
Good advice from Aaron there - with a week of recovery (exactly how much you need depends on how hard you push yourself and how fit you are) you will still have a couple of solid weeks to get some training in.
I'd go with shorter, fast…
I think it will depend on how hard you are going to run the two events. Assuming that you are going to run both events as hard as you can, I would think that at least a week of no hard running is required after Reading. This will still give you a mo…
Being a masochist, and as I work for a company owned by Qunitiles (sponsors of the Bracknell Half Marathon) and can get in for free, I am running the Bracknell Half Marathon on May 10th. Where would people advise I 'dip' back into the programme plea…
I did my first RHM four years ago, at that time you had to go all round Longwater Avenue (think it changes name to South Oak Drive somewhere) and eventually back along Brook Drive, also I had got to the stage where I was trying to run but my legs ju…
