Hi Everyone,
On advice from Mark at Body Consultancy I took a rest day on Thursday and will do a similar schedule this week. Training from last week was as follows:
- Tuesday – 45 minutes at easy pace (10km per hour)
- Wednesday – 4 x 8 – 10 minutes at hard pace, with a 2.5 minute rest inbetween each. (1st – 8 mins @ 12km / hour, 2nd – 8 mins @ 12.2km / hour, 3rd – 8 mins @ 12km / hour, 4th – 10 mins @ 12km/hour)
- Thursday – 45 minutes at easy pace (SKIPPED)
- Friday – 70 minutes steady pace or possibly off-road, fartlek. (12km @ 10.28km / hour. 170 BPM)
- Sunday – 180 minutes easy pace. (This was switched to 160 minutes after checking my progress and training plan. Actual session was 15 miles or 24 km in 167 minutes. 8.58 km / hour. 163 BPM).
As you can see, I’m starting to log more details so that people can see the progress and have help with the guesses. This will now happen for every session up until the marathon.
My heart rate is coming back down again which is good. Friday was faster than Brighton Half-Marathon and at 5 BPM less.
Sunday was going great until the rain came down and I got drenched. When I got home and stopped, I had my first experience of cramp and it was not pleasant. Fingers crossed it stays dry on 17th April :-).
Schedule for this week is:
- Tuesday – 45 minutes steady (with Cricket nets in the evening)
- Thursday – 75 minutes off-road, hilly, fartlek.
- Friday – 45 minutes easy
- Sunday – 180 minutes easy.
Have a great week.
Ben
