I promised I'd post my calendar here as well but i only just got round to finishing it...
Link is here:-
Ciq's Marathon Plan
as it stands currently based on recent race results the paces for the runs are
Easy A - 10:08 min/mile
Easy B - 09:27 min/mile
Long Run - 09:06 min/mile
Tempo - 08:23 min/mile
Strength - 08:13 min/mile
Speed - 07:20 min/mile
So while it's a lot of back to back running, most days are less than an hour of training and following any hard effort days the (easy a) runs are more like a slow jog to get the legs used to running tired while staying in the fat burning zone rather than continuing to deplete the carb energy stores which should help to increase overall running efficiency. but it only works if you stick to the prescribed paces.
then in 6 weeks I need to revisit the pace/goals and make sure they match my current ability so that I'm training in the right zones for each workout.
