RE: Marathon Post #2
Thanks. This is really good to know. My only issue is to balance my family life with work and training. For this reason lunchtime runs suit me best. I was given the below training schedule, what do you make of it. The numbers are in kilometers, so in week 1 you'd be training about 25 kilometers and then work your way up to the event, with the heaviest week at 64 kilometers, 4 weeks before the big event.
A few questions:
What pace/effort is each of the different runs at? You need to run at different effort to stimulate different training responses.
What is your goal time? What are some recent times for 10k or half marathon?
What volume have you been running leading up to the plan?
I think I can see the logic behind it but with the answers to the above I'd be happy to offer more feedback.
To be honest, finishing is the goal, the pace is irrelevant to me. I don't know what the pace behind this plan was in mind. I was told it's aimed to learn to run on tired legs.
In general I run 10km in about 55 minutes, I've never ran more than 13km at once and this program apparently could help me with building this up.
What do you mean with volume? In general I run 3 times a week and I want to ease into 4 times a week as I mentioned in my post that I did yesterday. Before I will start with this plan.
Would it be easier to chat offline? I'm on discord: wolfje#6587
