First blog post!
I know nobody is going to read this, but it's kinda like writing an online diary, and i think it will help me to write out my feelings. I've had a lovely summer hols so far, i came back from France on Saturday. I am aiming for the forthcoming cross country season, i want to have fitness by December, which is when the xc season starts rolling. My aims are to get in the top ten and qualify for the Uk Intercounties cross country which i have done for the past three years. I am approaching training differently this time. I am now entirely self-coached, and i have decided to concentrate on stamina as i think it has always been my weakness in races. My training week will include:
-Tempo Run
-Long Run
-Speed
-Short Run
-Rest
*Tempo runs (20 minutes out, 20 minutes back. (40 minute, even pace) )
*Long runs (60 minutes/ 7.5km)
*Shorter runs 2/3 distance (40 minutes/ 5km)
*Speed (Track races at the weekend/in week ranging from 200-1500m)
*Short Run/Recovery run (30 minutes slow pace )
*Rest normally 1-2 days (saturday/sunday) (After races 2)
However, this plan is slowly going to be incorporated as i do not want my shins to start aggravating me again! Excited about watching the diamond league at the weekend in London. The Europeans also was great, but i didn't watch much live as there was no TV where we were staying. Hopefully write another post soon, Alice
