Hi The Ed,
I have been off the forums for a very long time, and been planning on getting back for a very long long time, but due to injury after injury for the last 5 years have continually put my training on hold.....
I have been running / jogging steadily since June last year. I am currently doing the following on a weekly basis when life does not get in the way:
Monday - Very easy 25-35 min indoor cycle on my wattbike.
Tuesday - Easy morning 30 min (3-4 mile) jog with the dogs. Strength in the evening.
Wednesday - Easy morning 30 min jog with the dogs. Evening very easy cycle on the wattbike.
Thursday - Some sort of speed / efforts session, very easy recovery on wattbike afterwards.
Friday - Strength session followed by a very easy cycle on the wattbike.
Saturday - Easy morning 30 min Jog with the dogs.
Sunday - 10km easy jog (my version of a long run).
I believe I have suffered in the past due to weaknesses and too many effort / hard runs. I seem to have found a really good balance at the moment, but would like to work on my 5km pace over the spring summer here in the UK.
I have read through some of the 5km posts, and think the 3 day training sessions would be suitable. I can then switch my strength training to fit in around the schedule.
What do you think?
Best Regards.
Dean.
