Trainingsession 13th - 19th September
Sunday - 2 hours on the treadmill at Lila's. Pretty dull but watched Stephen Fry and Porridge! I slightly misjudged when it got dark so was forced to treadmill it. Not much fun! (18 miles)
Monday - 75 mins round canal (11.5 miles)
Tuesday - 60mins along canals (9 miles)
Wednesday - 90mins with 10 x 3mins off 3mins alternating between tempo and 6min miling. The tempos were about 5.05 miling pace. (15 miles)
Thursday AM - 58 mins along canal (9 miles)
PM - 58 mins steady (9 miles)
Friday - 58 mins seasy/steady (8.5 miles)
Saturday - AM - 2 miles tempo on track (10.20)/ 5 x 5 mins Kenyan Hills on Hampstead Heath/2 miles tempo (10.18) all off 75 secs. Felt quite strong and worked hard up the hills. (14 miles)
PM - 35 mins easy with Sam (5 miles)
99 miles. Damn, I miscounted! Oh well, was a good mileage week and legs feel pretty fresh and are coping with it fine, so will gradually nudge it up over the coming weeks I guess. I doubt I'll go much above 110, but would be good to try and make 110 'the norm'.

Hi Mark,
Ben Posted on September 24th, 2009It varies a bit. I sometimes start off easy and then naturally pick up be doing around 6 min miling for the last hour, or if I've been instructed to keep them easy or I feel knackered, I'll keep them at 6.30-6.45 pace. Sometimes they are the focus of my weekend, and in these cases, the last 8-10 miles will be at a pretty hard effort (5.20-5.30), after an easy first 90mins (6.30-6.45). It's good to vary it I think, and especially for marathon training, doing a 50 minute tempo after a 14 mile run is pretty knackering!
