I have been trying to get some structure into my training over the past few weeks.
I’ve looked at what time I have available, how many runs I wanted to do, what distances etc. and tried to fit this around getting to work in the morning or home in the evening.
I also tried to get my long runs in during the week, so that I am not disappearing for the whole morning on a Saturday or Sunday.
I put together a decent plan and resolved to follow it as best I could, with a bit of room for flexibility.
This past week I have been in the US, so it has been a bit up and down. I got most of my runs / session in, just slipping by around 5 miles.
Here’s how the plan and the actual looked….
M | T | W | T | F | S | S | Total | |
Planned | 5T | R | 10S | R | 10S | R | 5H | 30 |
Actual | 3.5T | 3.5T | R | 10S | R | 2.8S | 11S | 30.8 |
Legend: S = Steady, T = Tempo, R = Rest, H = Hills
