Getting Started on Training Plan

[admin]

OK great stuff

You will restart the cycle next week which means doing the

2000's on Thursday and the following week the 6x1000 on Tuesday

This week follow the program

Thur: 1hr run up to 155bpm .. this means your pulse shouldn't go above 155 and you should look to not have it below 140 ..

monitor your pulse when going uphills as that feedback can determine a number of fitness aspects related to strength and overall conditioning

once you learn more things you are able to then apply what you have learnt to race conditions, where if your pulse jumps very high during training on the hills then you know not to push too much on the hills during a race, so as to conserve energy for the latter parts

Hills are part of the cycle but I would only suggest concentrating on such things after your race

Sat: train according to week1 of cycle

Sun: as per week 1

Mon: as per week 1

Tue: 1hr similar to Thursday session

Wed: recovery

Thur: 5x2000 session and then continue with rest of cycle

Lots to learn and exciting times ahead for you
