As the buildup to
the peak phase of your training finishes, the
mileage peaks at 45. It is paramount therefore
that you monitor your body and do all that you
can to keep fit. Nutrition, rest and knowing
when to cut back a little bit will definitely
help. This is your last week of heavy duty
training, treat it wisely. Next week you will
begin the Taper. You are going to love it! |
The beginner
training schedules follow the hard day / easy day approach.
if you have to modify this week's training for any reason,
try to stick to this basic principle.

Week 13 Daily
Training
Schedule
Day 1:
After a
tough long run,
five easy days
in a row may be
in order. Four
miles at an easy
controlled pace
today please
Day 2:
Today's run is 5
miles at a
comfortable pace
followed by
light
stretching.
Day 3:
The easy
distance for
today totals 6
miles. Keep it
slow, but maybe
a lightly
rolling running
route if you
wish.
Day 4:
Another Easy run
of 5 miles
today. If you
have a different
suitably flat
route do it just
for a change.
Day 5:
Rest Day. An
easy bike ride
perhaps. Above
all, take it
easy because
tomorrow is your
last real long
run until
marathon day.
Yahoo.
Day 6:
Last long slow
distance run
today (20 big
ones). Please
keep it Slow and
stretch after.
If you have a
running friend
who can run with
you even to
start the run or
finish it with
you, give
him/her a call.
Company on these
long runs can be
a very positive
aspect. Go out
for breakfast
after. Time for
a reward?
Day 7:
Five miles at a
very easy pace
with some
stretching in
the middle of
the run as well
as after. You
have finally
reached the PEAK
of this training
program.
Congratulations.
