Tuesday – 10k Slow pace run

Wednesday – Lower body gym workout

Thursday – Rest Day

Friday – Gym 300 workout

Saturday – 11 Miles at 9.45 Minute miles pace

Marathon Blog - week 7

Week 7:  15/02/10 - 21/02/10

 

Week 7 and it was time to up our mileage again on the weekend long run. I ran 2x 10k this week on Monday and Wednesday and then the longer run was up to 18 miles. We ran this on a Sunday instead of Saturday so it may be interesting to see how my legs feel for next weeks running. My weekly training schedule looked as below:

Monday – 10k at 7.66 mins mile pace

Tuesday – Gym workout upper body/Kettle bells

Wednesday – 10k at 7.48 mins mile pace

Thursday – Rest Day/Massage

Friday – Gym workout upper body

Saturday – Rest

Sunday – 18 Miles at 9.85 Mins mile pace

Hackney Club Xtra Boxing Classes & Our First Assistant Boxing Tutors

Simon and I would like to thank all the young people that attended our Club Xtra boxing sessions this week. Club Xtra is a Hackney Learning Trust program for young people in the Hackney area over half term.

These sessions were extra special for us, as this is the first time we have used some of our former students as assistant Boxing Tutors. One of our main goals is to develop our students into assistant Boxing Tutors and then Boxing Tutors so that they can run classes under the BoxSmart umbrella.

Thank you Michael, Joel and Odane - all three of you did a great job as assistant Boxing Tutors and really helped to make the Club Xtra Boxing Classes a success.

Marathon Blog - week 6

Week 6:  08/02/10 - 14/02/10

 

Week 6 and after the long run last week I decided to try to get 2x 10 milers in during the week so that I kept my mileage at an average level whilst giving the legs a bit of a rest before upping my mileage again in week 7. Again the sports massage was as uncomfortable as hell but I know the benefits I get from them make the pain worthwhile. Work restricted me to having a very unusual rest day Monday but by Tuesday I was ready to go again. My weekly training schedule looked as below:

Monday – Rest

Tuesday – Gym workout upper body back

Wednesday – 10 miles at 8.2 minute mile pace

Thursday – Gym workout upper body chest /massage

Friday – Gym workout Legs

Saturday – 10 miles (8.4 min mile pace)

Sunday - Rest

Week 5:  01/02/10 - 02/01/10

 

Week 5 and I was pretty pleased to complete my 16 mile run today in 2.5 hours.

My weights are also increasing for my resistance training. My weekly training schedule looked as below:

Monday – 4.74 miles at 7.38 minute mile pace

Tuesday – Gym workout upper body back

Wednesday – 8 miles at 8.7 minute mile pace

Thursday – Gym workout upper body chest /massage

Friday – Rest
