This morning my workout was a 10 mile run (six miles of which was a hilly fartlek run surging up the rolling hills) than I lifted some weight at the gym. My lifts were 5 sets x 5 reps of parallel squats. Than I did some paused front squats for 5 sets x 3 reps. Than I did some pull ups and dips. Than I ran back home which was about a mile. This evening I plan to do another 8-12 miles.
Current training goal:
I'm going do some cross country races. And, some half marathons this fall.
Right now I'm just focusing on building up some pure strength to build me up to hit some serious mileage this winter.
Last winter I did 8 straight weeks of 100+ miles. This winter I plan on doing a winter base phase of 12-16 week base phase of 140+ miles a week. I'll start my base phase in October/November through February. I plan on making a marathon debut next spring. I hope to run the olympic b standard.
Training so far this week.
Monday: am 12 k pm weights+ 8k
Tuesday am 18 k (8k tempo) pm 0
Wesnday am 9k + weights
Thursday off (I didn't run due to travel)
Friday am 18 k + weights pm I plan on doing about 16 k give or take
What I plan on doing:
Saturday am 5k road race (and I meant to do some hill reps on Thursday so I'll do some after the race)(so I'll end up doing about 15 - 20 kilometres) pm 30-60 minute jog
Sunday am 30 x 300m on a grassy field (hopefully the chiggers don't get me) pm 30-60 minute jog
This week I'll end up doing about: 130-150 kilometers. I'll update this thread when this week ends.
