Hey Pablo - yep Nole got it right, sorry for the confusion-
mornings are best for my training, so I have been going out for 60-70minute runs, then immediately doing my "double" on a spin bike for 30minutes or so. It isn't ideal but for the time being this type of system will have to suffice.
As a marathon newbie I'll start posting my training weeks from now on as well.
Some background: I ran decently during college (1'50" and 3'44" 800M/1500m. During my PhD I backed off from running and focused on recreational mountain biking. In March of this year (at the age of 27) I picked up running, finishing a three day trail run in October and running 34' at a regional 10km two weeks later.
Now my aim is to run a first marathon in April (Rotterdam). The goal time is around 2h45. After this first try we will see where I set my future goals :-).
This weeks training (a lot of snow right now which makes a sub par training week.
M: 0km
T: a 80' fartlek (including some short hill sprints, 5'mins at 5000m tempo and 15' at threshold pace) total 17km
W:60' easy 13km
T: 3x15' at 3'50"/km with 1 min rest 18km
F:40' easy and some sprints 8km
S:6x1000m in 3'20" with 1min rest 12km
S: 25km LSD
Total 93km.
I'm sorry for the postings in KM but it takes to much effort to convert... feel free to comment on my training!
