Ooops, I must have pushed the post button in double quick time.

120 mpw for a 5km runner on the face of it does look excessive, but of course is that this week, next week and every week, or just the first phase of the programme.

Being more specific, I am currently aiming for a race in late April of 12 plus miles with 2000 ft of climb. I am aiming to break 100 minutes. I have no intention of training anywhere near 100 mpw, 50 would be more realistic but I intend to have one run (out of 7) each week of at least 100 minutes.

If you are suggesting that I can achieve my aim with far less or smarter, I am all ears and will happily be your Guinea pig
