What is the typical weekly training programme for fell running, to improve speed and stamina.
If i could train regularly.
I'd have....
A hill rep session,
A long run/race at the weekend,
A medium distance run - maybe a club run,
and some form of speed session
I'm now converted to the benefits of LSD with a bit of speed here and there.
I do a regular weekly pattern of hill repeats, threshold run and a long run.
Hill repeat...normally 2 mins hard, 1 min easy, repeated to top of hill. easy run back down. Probably around 10 hard reps in total.
Threshold run...normally 20 mins continuous uphill. Try to keep a hard but steady pace.
Long run - normally 15-20 miles with 4000 or 5000 ft of climbing.
If i'm training for a longer race...then tend to do longer intervals at a slower pace and longer/slower threshold runs. Shorter races would be the opposite.
I returned to LSD in Sept 2007, my fitness and race positions improved over the next year.Originally Posted by Pudgy
At the start of 2009 I gradually drifted back into speed work and have been injured since April
I am running again now, but keeping up with the group on a Club night sets me back days.
Joe Henderson summed it up: LSD The Human way To Train
Frequent but moderate workouts on a consistent basis are the key to success
3-5 sessions of heavy drinking are quite helpful too.....
On the subject of threshold runs, what % or people max HR is considered threshold?
