Jogging Three times a day?

If you don't get injured you could run sub 30 minute 10k and a 65 minute half.

That is very similar to the japanese marathon build up.Throw a LT intervals (or cruise intervals) e.g. 10x1000m (short rest) or 6x mile and a long progressive tempo 25-30km and there you are.

Alternating these two workouts every 10 day.

I do not know about strides or short hill sprints/strides but a few of them would help to touch the speed part a bit.

If you have done doubles more than 3x a week before then yes, go for it.

You'll recover so much better and quicker by the time u switch back to double u can do two workouts in a day.

Here are some tips :

Try not to injure yourself because you dont get much time in between those 3 runs to recover 100%

Make sure you have a healthy diet - with that much running during the day you need to properly refuel and make sure you eat enough

Oh and thatll burn through your shoes real quick before you realize it

The only hard thing is doing the laundry though. Unless you're happy with wearing the same sweaty outfits two more times after your first run.

Forgot to mention-

If youre only doing easy jogging at 4mins km pace then you can build a monster base - Your aerobic fitness will sky rocket if you dont get hurt

It's a great way to bump up mileage. I did that in my sophomore year and my easy pace gets faster without me realizing it

If you can handle that volume then it'sa good base to work off, but you could increase the variety. A good typical day would be:

7.00 12K easy plus strides

8.00 Plyometrics session

8.30 Core work - bodyweight/light weights

9.00 Breakfast

9.30 Stationary bike steady/moderate

10.30 Rest

11.00 15K progressive, start easy, finish at LT

12.30 Short weights session, heavy

12.45 Shower, lunch, rest

14.30 6x1K intervals, 2min rest

15.00 Hill sprints

15.15 Rest

16.00 12K easy, no strides

17.00 Swim or other fairly easy xt

18.00 Upper body - bodyweight/light weights

18.30 Plyometrics

19.00 Dinner, rest, TV etc.

21.00 15-20K easy

That will get you to about 440km/week plus the xt and strength work.

this is ok on an occasional boring day, but you're better off doing those 36k in 2 runs. If you can get only say 31k or so in 2 runs, you're still probably better off. Remember you get faster by recovering from the work, not the work itself.

I can easily jog 12 kilometres in a hour.

If I did this three times a day (morning, noon and afternoon) it would add up to 36 kilometres.

Times that by seven would equal 252 kilometres a week.

Add one or two tempo/longer interval workout once or twice a week and some shorter reps.

I respectfully suggest that you get laid more often as you seem to have a lot of time on your hands.....

On paper that looks always easy. In real life it is not.

Keep in mind that world class marathoners run a lot faster in their training. That's how they get too higher mileage.

Just because you run 250k a week will not make you a faster and better runner. But you will be injured sooner.

What would be the best way to do this? Spread your runs out four hours?

How I would do this:

500 am wake up, black coffee and water

600 am jog

700 am shower and clean up

800 am eat breakfast

900 am - noon do whatever you need, possibly bike to work if possible

Noon jog

100 am until you get off work

Run before dinner

If possible lift 3 times a week

On Sunday I would do at least two hours at a steady pace over hills.

And cause you'll hit some much volume the amount of interval work won't be so high. But you will need to do some. Ie 5 x 100m on a hill + 8 -10 x 800m or 5-6 x mile finished with 3-5 x 200m or 300m.

And don't forget to do some tempo work even if it is just 10 miles at marathon pace once a week.

Look at the long term and you could take what I said and do a nonlinear periodization.

Yes, this is an ideal typical day. I would suggest these kinds of days for six days a week (one day of total rest/career stuff). After a year, you will be ready to win your local 5k.

It would actually be 5 minutes per K.

Why don't you get a job and not live in your parents' basement with all that time? Or at least go to school? Typical Letsrun loser
