Week 2

Once again, my working week is looking like it will interfere with the training plan but I am aiming to get the mileage in and ensure the ‘long run’ happens. I started the week with a couple of runs, 3.5 and 4.25 miles yeaterday and today respectively and will be aiming for 4x3mins fast with a 2 min recovery between for tomorrow. I will be taking either Thursday or Friday as a rest day and putting in a 5 miler on the other day.

Saturday is regular parkrun day and with my usual warm-up/cooldown should add another 5 to 6 miles to the total. Sunday’s long run is scheduled to be 10 miles ‘slow’. This could prove problematic as I still have to master running anything slower than my normal training pace of around 9.5 mins/mile.
