    Is the sessions completed not meant to be this weeks sessions, either that or you are all training like a boss?


    Was wondering that alright? Do you want us to change to sessions completed per week or leave it as to-date?

    3.03 miles today 28.09/9.17 avg pace...HR 136/146

    Few pints last night as on holidays in Killarney. hard to get up at 7am this morning but managed it as wanted to get run out of the way so rest of family wouldnt be giving out about my running taking over the holiday!:)

    Found nice little trail run near hotel and Killarney National Park.

    Hey was talking to Pageant Messiah from the Novice thread, do you want to switch to a Google Docs spreadsheet to keep the thread clear for discussion or are we all happy with the tables in posts.

    Definitely a google spreadsheet. Otherwise the thread will be a long list of repeated tables with little or no discussion.

    aahh, i actually like the table, you can see at a glance how everyone is getting on...the novice thread is different as there are so many novices....and as you know from the 1000m challenge google spreadsheet, sometimes people go in a mess the data about, whereas with the table you can't

    Thats just my opinion!!!:)

    Week 3 - plan

    |Mon|Tue|Wed|Thur|Fri|Sat|Sun|
    |Rest|6 mile easy|Session 1*|6m easy|15 min recovery|Progression*|1 hr 45 easy

    Session 1-1 mile warm up, 10x30 sec hills @ 5k-5m effort jog back down recovery, 1 mile cooldown

    Progression - 1 mile warm up, 3 miles steady, 2 miles @ MP, 1 mile at HMP, 1 mile cooldown


    Today - 6m easy - in 57.41 @ 9.37/157.

    my new easy pace going by my 5k race time from last week is 9.17 - 9.47
    so this sat on the lower end of the range which is great...felt nice & comfortable too, around a few hills in the Phoenix park too, so very happy with the run!!

    For what it's worth I don't think your own thread needs it. 20 or so members isn't too cluttering IMO - what happened the mentored novices was that we hit 60+ members and people were copying the wrong table etc or two were posting at the same time so there was constantly people being missed or left out. Plus 60 weekly table posts is very cluttering.

    I'm having a bit of a mare trying to keep the google doc on the straight and narrow. I'm constantly having to go in and correct the mistakes that people have made, sheets being moved around, data overwritten that shouldn't be. The big problem for googledocs is there is no way to protect individual cells or lines so anyone can change anything, delete a cell etc by accident and I have to go through it like a detective to find where things went wrong. On the flip side that would also be easier with a smaller group.

    It was the right move to make for the novices thread but I'm not 100% sure it is the right one for you guys just yet. That said if you're going ahead feel free to copy my sheets - just be careful of the calculations from week to week as they reference cells not on the same line in other sheets (because of new joiners) I'd suggest just picking the top line and copy pasting that all the way through.

    Sorry I can't be of any help because I'm doing P & D 33-55 per week which might be a bit too much mileage.
    I wonder though what you did to shave nearly 20 mins off your marathon time - I did 4:10 in my first marathon and am going for sub 4 in my second one, so any tips would be great! :D


    Dingle was very hilly so that didn't help for a first marathon. Also some silly mistakes that I put down to being a first timer - I didn't take gels on time and walked up a big hill but wasn't able to pick up speed after that as I started cramping.

    And I think I trained smarter the second time as I understood the different types of run.

    Good luck

    5.12 miles done this morning..47:59, avg pace 9:23 HR 133/147

    Very enjoyable morning run...on empty stomach though....found a couple of testy hills which added nicely into the mix of cycle path and forest trail running. Really enjoyable.

    Now off for a swim

    I'm the same with my PMP runs. It will definitely get easier once you stick with the plan. I find it a little bit frustrating to be thinking about marathon day. It is still 15.5 weeks away and the P&D<55 will bring you on in leaps and bounds (pun intended!)

    It's the strangest thing - I used to think my PMP (target 4:00) was ridiculously slow - but it feels a lot quicker when you have to speed up to it after doing the superslow aerobic warm-up phase of the P&D runs.

    Last year I trained at a much faster pace - I didn't seek any real guidance as to the most efficient training pace, and I just "did what felt right". The results were middling, and this year I'm hoping that the science behind P&D is enough to bring on some improvements.

    It's also nice to be able to switch the brain off and slavishly follow a renowned training plan.

    Unfortunately haven't gotten anything done yet this week, have been playing football the last 2 nights so missed both HH Inter 1 runs. Thinking of doing all three-in-one tomorrow as an 11mi run - does this sound like an okay idea? Did 11mi last Sunday and felt absolutely grand, so I'd imagine its no biggie to do that. Also, does anybody know what type of strength/core training we should be doing? I did a few single-legged squats in the gym there on Monday, I'm expecting to run twice as fast now tomorrow! :P

    Peer pressure got to me too yesterday evening. I ran with a group and the pace was quicker than it should have been for my planned P&D General Aerobic 16k run. I started off trying not to go too fast but I couldn't slow down to proper GA pace either. So I gave in, took a small short cut and rejoined the group. I ended up running the last 4 or 5k at about 10k pace. We sped up a bit when the rain came down. It ended up being very close to what I should be doing on Friday, 13k with 6k at Lactate Threshold pace. So I'll just do the 16k GA tomorrow on my own.

    Ah so happy to get out and stretch the legs again tonight (even if I did get soaked), 3.4mi at 7.20 pace.
    My aim is to run at the DCM at between 7.15-7.30 pace, probably need to slow down my runs so, from the advice I've been reading over on the novices thread.

    Nice 5 mile PMP run this morning in West Cork..

    5.13 miles, 45.53mins, 8:57avg pace, HR 136/148

    Faster than PMP and pacing was a bit all over the place...need to watch this and keep more even pace. Felt a bit tired but putting this down to being on holidays, having pints and a not too healthy diet all week and the early morning runs as not really used to that. Proud of myself for getting my runs in this week though!

    Short LSR tmw of 6miles and will update table then.

    Thanks Younganne. Wasn't easy but determined to stick to the plan as much as possible this year if I am to get any way near my target of 4hrs.

    Enjoy your break next week. Hope the weather is better than what I saw this week. Going by your posts, I'd say you have more than enough miles in those legs to have a light one next week.

    Hope you fair better than me. Just spent a week in west Clare at an endurance event of a very different nature - week long traditional music summer schools and running don't mix very well ! Back at it with a vengence this week ! Enjoy your holiday !

    6m LSR today. 59.37. 9.57, 139bpm. Still hard to keep to the right pace but i'm sure it gets easier later in the programme. Irish Times running is meant to have a feature on Marathon plans tomorrow (i think). Could be interesting.

    Hi,

    Just wondering if you have any advice on how best to rejing this weeks training for HH Inter 1 to fit in two races?

    Mon - Cross
    Tue - 3m
    Wed- 6m
    Thur-3m
    Fri -Rest
    Sat -6m pace
    Sun -11m

    I'm doing James Hospital Liberties run on Thurs ,6.5k and Fingal 10k on Sunday.

    Would appreciate any thoughts/suggestions.Maybe move the cross from mon to wed and bring tues and Wed 1 day forward , replace thurs with race. How do I handle sat and sun though?
    :confused:

    The only way I can see doing the two races and the LSR is:

    Monday - 4 miles recovery (as slow as you want)
    Tuesday - 11 miles (slow)
    Wednesday - rest
    Thursday - 6.5km Liberties
    Friday - 3 miles recovery
    Saturday - crosstraining
    Sunday - 10km Fingal

    You'll be one mile short of your weekly target mileage but the two races more than make up for that.
