The next leg in the story was that we got to a certain level, but then we had to re-structure her week differently, because of work changes and in the end it gave her a fresh focus.
We then started to put the interval running on a Monday evening, because it was a quick session due to work pressures. This quick session which originally lasted just 5 minutes had grown into 35 minutes of interval sprints, and anyone who has ever done this type of intense session will know how hard it is to get to 35 minutes!
Then we did a inside strength session on Tuesday.
Wednesday was rest day and it worked well for her because she always worked 12 hours on a Wednesday.
Thursday, turned into an uphill sprints session.
She picked the steepest hill she could find, and picked a point 30 yards away.
She sprinted this distance uphill until she could do it 10 times, then she would do it 10 times backwards, when she got a really good level that is!
You know if you have read this blog earlier that I recommend this workout for big results!
Friday was a light inside strength session.
Saturday was a her distance day. She wanted a day she said that she could commit to, as her distance would need to go up right until 19-20 miles, and this could take some time!!!
Sunday was indeed a day of rest so this marathon schedule starting REALLY firing well for her!
All of these workouts were hard to get used to, but the results soon started speaking for themselves, and next week we will talk about the feelings of running these much longer distances!!
