TheEd,
Thanks for the response.
Currently I am training 4 times per week as follows:
Monday - run for around 45-50 minutes at a comfortable pace (usually around 11-12km/h).
Tuesday - Upper body weight training (45 minutes), then 30 minutes cardio medium / light intensity. Either running or cross trainer.
Wednesday - Rest.
Thursday - Upper Body weight training (45 minutes), then interval training 15x1m with 1m rest (15.5km/h x 9.0km/h).
Friday - Rest.
Saturday - Upperbody weight training, then 30-40 minutes cardio medium / light intensity. Either running or cross trainer.
Sunday Rest.
I work away frequently so my midweek session will sometimes be changed to suit my conditions and ability to train.
This is the only training I have done, been trying this for around 1 month. Prior to this did classes in the gym, including spinning, circuit training and also weight training. All excercise has been for fun, as I hate the thought of not being fit. This is the first time I have focused my execise on a target.
I am 35 years old, weight is 66kg. Resting HR of 52 BPM. I have suffered from Achilles tendonitis, which now does not seem to be an issue.
Previous to the race on sunday I had never ran 10k at all, even during training, and I believe the course was accurate as it was done by a recognised local running club.
Best Regards.
Dean.
