From Gordon Pirie's "Running Fast and Injury Free" (
https://www.scribd.com/document/13695/Gordon-Pirie-s-Running-Fast-and-Injury-Free
) one of my favorite books/pamphlets on running. He even has some critical Al Sal commentary.
In my pre-Gerschler days, a typical week of training for me when in top form was as follows:
Sunday:
am - three hours run, Tooting Bec. Flat.
pm - four hours walk. Faster than joggers today!
Monday:
am - 30 minutes run, Coulsdon Downs. Hilly.
pm - two hours of strong 100 paces, soft 100 paces, Coulsdon. No easy running!
Tuesday:
am - 30 minutes run, Coulsdon Downs.
pm - three hours track running, Tooting Bec, including Zatopek-style interval training [40x300 jog 100; or 30x400 jog 100; or 60x200 jog 200].
Wednesday:
am - 30 minutes run, Coulsdon Downs.
pm - same as Monday.
Thursday:
am - 30 minutes run, Coulsdon Downs.
pm - same as Tuesday.
Friday:
am - 30 minutes run.
pm - one to one and a half hours, as Monday.
Saturday:
am - 60 minutes run.
pm - three hours hard cross-country, Coulsdon. Hilly.
