I will try to add the schedule for the following week at the end of each post. I've not followed this schedule before so can't say yet whether it works or not. It has me running more frequently than I usually would and takes up the distance of the long runs more quickly.
The usual marathon training programme my running club follows ups the mileage more gradually and follows the 10% rule - the total mileage of each week does not increase by more than 10% of the previous week's total. The idea is that by following this rule, you are more likely to stay injury free. I am slightly concerned about the way the mileage increases so quickly but will just have to see what happens.
Here's the plan for this coming week:
Tuesday - 50 minute hill run (HR)
Wednesday - 40 minutes easy run (ER)
Thursday - 50 minutes fartlek
Friday - REST
Saturday - 2 hours long run (for us this will be about 12 miles)
Sunday - 30 minutes ER
