Trainingsession Day two- Costa del wolvo camp
AM- 40 mins
Legs were a bit battered this morning- Did a decent drills and plyo's workout on sunday afternoon after a 30 mins run so feeling the effect now. Just ran easy off road, around the lake, and through the woods-- would have been nice to have company this morning to take my mind off the run, but had to settle instead with being billy no mates...
PM- Track session
Went over to Birmingham Uni to do the session. The group was fairly small as the students are all at home for the holidays. Ran sesh with mr sharp, goolab, and josh lilly. Sesh went really well, and finished up running second part with josh on our own as other lads did their own thing, volume of sesh was high, in keeping with the high mileage week- so my legs are shagged now. Will need some easy running tommorrow to shake the sesh out of the legs.

Yea the track session was a mix really. So that I could mix in some stuff with the group (sharpy et al) I planned the session around working on three different race pace components. The aim was to work at around 10km race pace, 5km race pace, then 1500 race pace...At this time of year I will do that to keep the body guessing, and get used to running at different speeds. Session was 3 x 1 mile, 6 x 500m, 6 x 200m. It was bloody windy, so the miles were just off pace (4.40, 4.39, 4.34), 500's moved through 400 in 64's so they were 1.20's, and the two's were 29/30 secs. Recovery was reducing, so 400 quick jog in between miles, 300 between the 5's and 200 between the 2's. Aim was to move through the gears, get quicker and keep recovery jogs fairly brisk. Session was okay- legs were a bit flat, but worked well with josh lilly towards the end of it.

Session
Hi Phil, really enjoying reading your stuff on here!
JPS Posted on April 7th, 2009Just one question, would you be willing to go into detail about what your session was. What length reps, how many, what recoveries, times?
Just interested to see how you train really!!
Thanks
