Typical week training

Monday: 8 miles am (weights after) 4/6 miles pm

Tuesday: am: Normally 10k volume session with short recovery. We manipulate the session in a lot of different ways, but it's usually the harder session of the week. For example 10x1k off 1 minute recovery. 4 miles pm

Wed: 8 miles am (weights after) 4/6 miles pm

Thursday: Threshold running. We manipulate our threshold curves to different speeds for 8/9 miles. E.g- 15 mins@5m30 miles, 15mins @5m15 per mile, 15mins @ 5m per mile. 4 miles pm

Friday: off or a cheeky 4/6 miles depends of fatigue levels from the week.

Sat:: am: Hills- 15-20mins of uphill running time, split into varying length reps each week. E.g - 5 x 4mins, jog back recovery Pm: 4 miles
