- You are not currently injured or carrying a niggle
- You can run at least 90 minutes in one go (however slowly)
- You have run with some consistency for the last 3-4 months
- You run 4 or 5 days per week or more
- You have run at least 4-5 hours per week on average recently (if not you'll need to adjust down the starting volume or lower your pace for all workouts)
- You have some previous experience with different types of running sessions such as intervals and tempo runs
- You have access to some hilly terrain and trail as the plan includes runs on hills an trails (if not you must improvise: it's not ideal but work with what you have)
- Have a watch to record pace. A heart rate monitor is a bonus but not required
- You are aiming for an 'average' finishing time (around 3 hours 30 to 5 hours 30 minutes)
The basic week revolves around:
- 6 weeks of BASE PERIOD, 7 weeks 'RACE-PRACTICE' training and a week COMPETITIVE period consisting of a Taper week and a Race week
- 5 days training with rest days on Mondays and Fridays (note you can switch days around to suit yourself)
- Average volume of 5 hours 20 minutes per week with minimum of 4.2 hours and maximum 6 hours 15 minutes (about
- 5 easier weeks (3 step-back weeks and the final 2 'taper' weeks)
- Faster work generally done on Tuesdays and Thursdays and Long Run Sundays ((if you shift this to suit yourself remember to move other workouts so there is not a hard run within 24 hours of the long run)
- Polarised training: Only about 10% of the total running volume is done at paces above AT (paces you would describe as 'faster than easy'). These faster element are spread over 42 of the total 75 runs (leaving 33 runs that are 'purely easy intensity')
