So A goal is a good marathon or 3 peaks in the Spring
B goal is a decent marathon at Kielder Oct 17th to land me in good nick for a good winter training for Spring.
Other subgoals loose some weight! - need to shift another 9-10lbs
Enjoy it (or at least enjoy having done it!)
Will start marathon training schedule in July - will be using Furman institute programme, 3 hard sessions per week, anything else cross training or recovery. Being realistic about my body and my training budget - that's probably my best bet, rather than the Lydiard long slow miles approach.
So for June
50-60km per week
2-3 effort sessions per week - tempo and long run each week at least
Try out some of the marathon programme sessions
Keep watching that eating - and another couple of pounds off
A couple of races to vary life - probably Wharfedale half and a leg of Milleneum Relay for the dodgers.
Keep the hrm on but more focus in effort sessions on pace/time
I'll be mara training from August so if you fancy a few long ones let me know. Abingdon 17/10 is the target so will be looking for a few 20m+ runs in August/Sept.
ReplyDeleteWill be glad of the company, despite my introvert tendancies those long runs can feel a tad bleak
