That isn't so much a problem
tomorrow 1hr up to 10km
then we back to quality next week
TheEd
ps.. how is your week looking?
5km training - beatule1 - 04-12-2009
Ok! Will do tomorrow!
Next week - all good can run any day, just Friday night will have Christmas party, so not sure with Saturday morning run
And then the following Friday! Race!
I was wondering how much body fat effects speed of running?
Were you seeing ladies with a certain body fat % running faster?
As I think exess weight slows you down.. ??

weight does have a factor on speed

What ideal % would be for women? As if it's too low it's not healthy for ladies and if it too much can't carry themselves..
I ran yesterday 1h what's for tomorrow?

you can do an easy 20 to 30 minutes Monday and would you be able to do a quality session on Tuesday?
a healthy margin for women would be around and below 10%
elite athletes is a whole different margin
Cheers

yes i can do that!
wow 10% is low. i allways thought and read everywhere that less than 15% is not healthy for women as it's balances out hormones (like stopped periods) which might lead to reduced bone dencity and other problems.. ?
so what % has to have elite athletes? :mmm:
What your advice would be for someone like me? at the moment i think im around 16%. would my weight effect my performance? (to get to top 3 runners in a future!!!

p.s. sorry again for million questions!

Hi B .. I wouldn't worry too much about body fat etc at this moment
at a later stage we can start looking at diet and other aspects
keep it simple for now and once you start training towards a sub 19 minute 5km, we can assess things
sub 19

That sounds reasonable, if not sooner
