Planning Your Training

In order to maximise the benefit you get from training it is vital to plan ahead.

This is best done in pencil to accommodate unforseen changes and some boxes a few weeks ahead may be blank until nearer the time. An example is given below showing the plans of a 10k runner. (You may wish to fill in the blanks to finalise a suitable shedule). However it is important to constantly check and update the sheet to take into account daily feelings. There is no point in doing a 20 minute tempo run if your Achilles tendon is niggly. Work or family commitments are also likely to change, but by planning ahead you are more likely to have included and completed important sessions.
