I'm curious as to how others train and build up for certain races. Do you have the same general approach each cycle? Try new things?
I'm interested in:
Age
Primary event(s)
Do you have a coach or are you self-coached?
Length of a training cycle
Average weekly mileage
# of hard efforts per week (and what types of workouts - vo2? tempo run? anaerobic work?)
24
Currently training for marathon
self-coached
Don't have "training cycles" but I started training for this marathon 2 months before race day. Was just kinda running before that.
45-50
1-2. Long run is a workout in marathon training. 18+ miles. Maybe a mid week tempo run or fartlek but nothing too taxing.
I race walk 3 times a day and drink a gallon of Hawaiian Punch. I'm 91 years old, gay, self coached, and have PR's of 1:50, 3:41, 13:09, and 27:31.
