10 miles slow run on the hills approx 9.5 minute per mile.

Training with www.runnershigh.in this is week-1

Training for a marathon on 15-Jan-2012.

Two focus areas:

1.  to get atleast 4  20+ mile runs during nov/dec months and then taper down.

2. Second focus area is speed drills - plan to do Veronique Billat 's vVO2max workout ie. run 5x3 min at a 5k pace with 3 min recovery jog at half the pace. 

Suggestions/comments welcome.

Cheers

Murthy

1. 5k warm up followed by running drils.

2. Intervals 4x3 i.e. 3min run at vVO2MAX (faster than my 5k speed) and 3min at recovery 50% vVO2MAX - repeated 4 times. Goal is to do this 5 times.
