Day 24.
My first dedicated hill session. Keeping it simple I went to the biggest hill nearby and ran up (walked a bit) and down it a couple of times for 45 mins. 28 mins actual climbing

Tuffer, It was the latter.
When I was a teenager my Dad used to do an awesome fartlek on the local golf course: stride from Tee to Green then jog to the next Tee.
TFG, Cheers for the encouragement.
Day 28 (Friday): One hour steady, out & back along the old railway line.

I actualy thought about that statement during todays session. At my current level I could quite easily complete all the local races in this years Winter series without any discomfort but in reality I wish to be nearer the sharp end so I need to build up the the training miles.Originally Posted by that_fjell_guy
Day 29. Easy day - Gym: 10 min bike warm up, 30 min weights, 20 min treadmill.
Overall a reasonable week, the plan was for 1 x 60 min, 2 x 40 min and up to 4 x 20 min. In reality I achieved the three main ones but was one short on the easy days.
Over the next couple of months I wish to build up to 1 x 90 min, 2 x 60 min and up to 4 x 30 min.

Allegedly if you do something for 30 days in a row it becomes a habit.
Day 30 An easy morning at the Gym: 20 min bike, 20 min run, 20 min swim.
A few years ago I would have said that 20 min on a bike or in the pool was 20 min wasted that I could have spent running.
Next weekend is Fell race number 2 (Levisham Saltersgate) it is a bit further than the first, but over terrain that I have raced on before so there will be no surprises. As the training build up is going well so far it is tempting to up it again but common sense says that I should repeat last weeks sessions, so I will be aiming for 1 x 60 min (Mon) 2 x 40 min (Wed & Fri) with 20 min on the other days.

As a previous poster said "..slowly, slowly catch the monkey!". The above seems sensible as you've been 'out' so long. Keep 'Trogging'
btw...I take it you're in the Whitby area. Who do you run for? Do you do NYSD XC? If so I might see you at one or two!!
