Double figures in training plans, that’s impressive. I think the last one didn’t go as we hoped, but with more time on your hands, I’m optimistic this has the potential to be the best one yet.
It all comes down to one thing really. Consistency. 3 runs per week might not seem a lot. But when you combine that with 2 strength sessions in the gym, you’re suddenly exercising 5 times per week. And that doesn’t even include the pilates and yoga.
The training load has increased slightly from the last plan. 766 – 791 (weekly average). That’s basically what we want to achieve. Finding the right training load that you can complete on a week to week basis without picking up injuries.
Not working will hopefully also give you more rest time as well. That’s always very important when it comes to getting fitter.
In the past efforts has always been a bit of an issue because you long run on a Sunday and work on a Tuesday. But now we have a solution to that I think over the course of this 14 week plan you will start to the notice the difference.
And then we’ll use the Sunday long runs to rebuild your endurance again in time for Bewl. We can always make the work in the gym a little more challenging too, just to really make the best use of that time.
I’m happy though, whilst the routine feels similar, it’s definitely a step up in workload and if done gradually, which I have done here, you should make some gains without pushing too hard.
Any questions just ask.
