Only a short plan at the moment as it takes us up to Brighton Half (11 weeks). I can add on a few extra to extend to HHM if you wanted?

I’ve switched from distance to Training Load to create my plans. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE ABOUT TRAINING LOAD.

As a numbers man I think you’ll appreciate this approach and I really believe the training plans are now much more consistent from one week to the next and also progressive.

When I went back through your last plan switching Miles to Training Load, the first week in the plan was actually the most demanding, which obviously shouldn’t be the case. It should get progressively more challenging.

Your last training plan averaged a load of 978 per week. We are now pushing that up to 1112 on average. So quite a jump but the volume doesn’t feel like more.

There’s an average of 3.64 runs per week. Each week will consistent of 2 sessions and 2 easy runs. The sessions are big though and that’s because I feel like you come into this plan in really good shape, so no need to build up slowly.

The sessions will be the key. Prior to Chichester 10k I’ve tried to pair us up and 3 weeks out of 6 we have the same 10k session now. So the possibility of teaming up again for some of those.

There are 4 big 10k sessions in the plan and also 4 half marathon sessions, 3 of which come after Chichester. I really like this and think if you can work hard in those key sessions then that 10k PB (weather permitting of course 🙄) will finally be yours.

I’ve updated the ratings slightly. Feel free to change them if need be. An exciting training block though with 2 really big races to look forward to. Let’s do this.
