FIRST Marathon Training Program: Week 10
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.
