Building the mileage, slowly. at Comrades Marathon Blog

So I’ve finally nailed down my training program for next few weeks. Without a program, I’m likely to run too fast, and cause myself harm, which wouldn’t be too clever.

Here’s the program starting next Monday, 30 July 2007:

Week	Mon	Tues	Wed	Thurs	Sat	Total Hrs / km
30 July	20 Min Very Easy	33 Min Easy	38 Min Easy	20 Min Very Easy	50 Min Easy	2:41 / 31km
6 Aug	20 Min Very Easy	36 Min Easy	40 Min Easy	20 Min Very Easy	55 Min Easy	2:51 / 33km
13 Aug	20 Min Very Easy	30 Min Easy	35 Min Easy	20 Min Very Easy	60 Min Easy	2:36 / 30km
20Aug	20 Min Very Easy	36 Min Easy	40 Min Easy	20 Min Very Easy	65 Min Easy	2:56 / 34km
27 Aug	20 Min Very Easy	40 Min Easy	40 Min Easy	20 Min Very Easy	65 Min Easy	2:56 / 34km

Some notes regarding the program:

Fridays and Sundays are my rest days, I might go cycling or some other form of cross training. (Maybe I’ll try and swim)
Mondays and Thursdays are to be run at around 5:30 min/km, on the treadmill. With light gym workout after.
Runs labeled “easy” can be run around 4:50 min/km, but not much faster.

So that’s it, please follow my progress on my RunningAhead profile.
