Marathon Blog - week 11

Week 11:  15/03/10 - 21/03/10

 

Week 11 and having just got back from our long run of 20.7 miles I am not feeling as bad as I thought I would. Saying that, today’s run was the most challenging physically and mentally that I have ever done. For some reason I have to say that I didn’t feel comfortable at all after around 10 miles or so. I think my legs to a huge pounding on my Monday threshold training session and possibly struggled to recover throughout the week. So, between now and the big day on April 25^th we wont run any further than 10-12 miles so that are legs are fresh for the big day. My weekly training schedule looked as below:

Monday – Full Body Threshold training

Tuesday – 9.3 Mile run at 8.4 min mile pace/ Massage

Wednesday – Rest Day

Thursday – Upper Body gym workout

Friday – Rest

Saturday – 20.7 Miles at 9.78 Minute miles pace

Sunday – Rest

Use Of Video Analysis In Boxing Classes

Today we used video analysis in one of our boxing classes. Providing the opportunity for our students to review their performance dramatically increased their technique.

We will provide more feedback on this method over the next few weeks and boxing classes.

Marathon Blog Week 9

Week 9:  01/03/10 - 07/03/10

 

Week 9 and back to the longer run today (Saturday). I didn’t get a massage again this week and it feels like it is taking its toll a bit now. The long run this week was 20 miles and having just got back and stretched I must say I don’t feel as bad as I thought I may do. The run seemed really easy up to around 15 mile when the legs started to feel the strain a little. I’m definitely not looking forward to my sports massage Monday evening as I think it may be a little painful? My weekly training schedule looked as below:

Monday – 10k Run at 7.5 min miles

Tuesday – Upper body gym workout

Wednesday – Lower body gym workout

Thursday – Upper body gym workout

Friday – Rest

Saturday – 20 Miles at 9.22 Minute miles pace

Sunday – Rest
