Ranelagh Harriers Training Plan
Robin Hood Group (Bev)
Mar 2010
In general, this group is working towards running for one hour non-stop at each runner's
own pace. Tuesday sessions will help with leg strength, speed, endurance and self
confidence and will be adapted to suit the fitness level of those present.

Runners should go for a run at least three times each week including Tuesdays, but not initially on consecutive days. One run should be shorter - about 30 minutes at a steady pace. One run should be longer - about 45 to 60 minutes at a slow pace with walking breaks as needed. If you wish to measure your progress, I would suggest running one of the 5k time trials once a month at race pace, and then on the following day, do a shorter than usual Sunday run or rest. Do not increase the total weekly distance or the distance of any one session by more than one mile/week. Do not increase the long run on Sundays until you can run the hour non-stop. Especially in the early days of training, rest days are important. Rest = no run and only walk, swim or cycle or light cross training if any.
