A guaranteed 'get faster' programme comprising UK National High Performance Centre speed work as used by the squad there, including a couple of very well known athletes, challenging hill sessions and weekend longer but manageable distance runs that constantly challenge the energy systems. If you are looking for a plan to bring you PBs or to get you up to speed for a race then this is it.
Plan includes around 2 quality run and bike sessions a week, focussing on speed and power and a longer run and bike at the weekend. Focus is NOT on distance but technique, race applicability and readiness.
Time is around 7-11 hours per week so can be used in conjunction with your own other activities club or personal. This assumes that any commute running and cycling or fun running is done very easy and over relatively short distances and kept to a minimum
