Hello, friends
I am trying to make a micro-cycle that maximizes recovery for a non-injury prone experienced 800m(1:53) runner who wishes to train for the 1500m this summer.
My question is to maximize recovery should i consolidate 2 works into 1 days and use the next day as a recovery run.
example
This..
Monday: AM weights, recovery run
Tuesday: 5x600 interval workout
Wed : AM strength, PM Tempo
Thursday: Special edurance 200 repeats ect.
friday: easy run or rest
saturday: race (or sim)
Sunday: Long run 9miles (20% if mileage)
or
Monday: AM weights, recovery run
Tuesday: 5x600 interval workout
Wed : AM strength, Recovery run
Thursday: AM Tempo, PM: Special edurance 200 repeats ect.
Friday: easy or off
Saturday: Race (or sim)
Sunday: long run
again, its just an example, but the main point is putting the heavier stuff into one day and getting more recovery, or dividing it up and having probably more quality for the pm stuff.
looking to get the best adaptation. the guy's a work horse.
