Week 10 – September 10th, 2007
As the FIRST training plan develops and increases in difficulty, I find myself more and more fatigued at the beginning of each week. Week 10 is no exception – my shins are starting to feel quite sore and I’m a little nervous about my left knee after an incident during Sunday’s long run
. There’s no time to shake off these minor aches and pains though, as Tuesday will soon be here and I need to be ready to run again.
Here we go, Week 10 in all it’s glory:)
Key Run Workout #1:
10-20 minute warm up
3 x (2 x 1200m) (2min RI)
4min RI between sets
10 minute cool down
Key Run Workout #2:
10 mile run @ PMP pace (Planned Marathon Pace)
Key Run Workout #3:
Distance: 15 miles @ PMP + (20 sec/mile)
Week 10 looks to be the most challenging training week so far. With just 7 weeks to go until race day, I envisage another month or so of strength/speed building workouts before the taper begins. It will be very important to stay focused to ensure I make as much progress as possible over the coming weeks.
For reference, all 16 weeks of the FIRST to the Finish Marathon Training Program can be found here.
