So I've got a new running strategy, focussing on base, build and race phases... it's pretty obvious which each is. Three cycles a year I'm gonna go for.
ATM I'm in my first base phase, this means mainly easy runs with one 'Octopus session' every 10-14 days in which I do minimal speed work.....
It's been nice taking it easy!
Monday - 7.5K easy
Had a dentist appointment, walked there in my running gear and then ran back via a park in the opposite direction!
Wednesday Octopus...
I booked the track but then on getting there I decided not to bother and just did some intervals up the top of the park, only 4 times 300 - which was actually more than my training programme suggested!
I'm gonna trust this...
Easy ish Park Run...
I did it at a steady pace, it's kind of nice, taking it easy!
From here...
Another 3 weeks in the base phase then I'll gradually head into the build phase, I want to try and get more easy runs in too!
nice heart rates for easy-ish paces!
Yes I am pleased with this, I think it's the way to go right? Get your base sorted and then build from there!
