Hi Group Members, this post serves the purpose of providing the training plans for the next 12 weeks with the aim to race the Tallinn Half Marathon on the 7th September 2024.

We will be breaking our training routine into 2 x 6 weeks with the first 6 weeks focusing on development of mainly the athlete 5k speed while also maintaining a decent long run

After the 1st 6 weeks we will re-assess matters and then plan accordingly towards Tallinn

This is the 1st post in a number of posts making you each aware of the plans and this serves as a framework, and as an individual we are able to change 'your' training accordingly

so onwards and forwards

G

Hi all, we are now at the end of week 3 and the end of the first cycle. Please note, that this is a framework and everything is changed according to each individual's needs. We are still working on developing 5k speed and next week we begin cycle 2 of this development.

This weekend sees you test yourself. Use this opportunity to learn more about yourself and your running, pace and form.

Next week Tuesday it is Day 1 of the cycle and we will be doing the hillwork session (as from previous) We will meet 17:45 in the carpark and then jog down to the hill for the familiar hill session.

Thursday is Day 3 of the 2nd cycle and we will be doing 2000's .. though this will be aimed at 5k pace and will have a longer Rest between each 2k so that you are able to focus on pace and form (relaxing at speed)

Saturday 13th July is the long run day and we will arrange a group run for those who can make it.

There we are plans for the next cycle

Hi everyone .. we now go into the Tallinn countdown, 6 weeks to Tallinn.

What should be noted, is that the framework is still used for everyone, the pattern of Day 1 to Day 18. For AnneK and Pasi who will run an event 2 weeks after Tallinn, the training framework still applies. Even Josephine and Janita (the newest to the group) will benefit from the framework.

The plan this week is aerobic development with strength thrown in via the hills (you are mostly familiar with session) followed by 2000's on Thursday which is aimed at developing speed endurance and then Saturday is the long run. The pattern should become familiar by now.

Next week's plan is 1000's on Tuesday with Thursday aimed more at aerobic again

If you unable to attend the group sessions then similar training will be provided which you can do on your own.

Stay focused and above all, enjoy

😊 👍
