Edinburgh Marathon Training - Weekend Endurance

Hi all,

Trying a new approach to marathon training that was first suggested to me by Simon "Crazy Legs" Peck. The principle is to run for a length of time rather than a distance. It has now been endorsed by Runners World in their latest training plans. I have asked Garry to publish the full schedule on the website so I will only list the weekend sessions and runs here.

Saturday 28th Feb - I will be running a session on "Kenyan Hills". This kind of hill training is used by elite Kenyan athletes and sounds like fun! All welcome

Sun 1st March - Long Run (from gym @10am) - min 75 mins "on feet" - 9 min/mile pace

Sat 7th March - Interval training session - all welcome - gym 9:30am

Sun 8th March - Long Run @ 10am - min 90mins "on feet" - 9 min/mile pace

Sat 14th March - Kenyan Hills session gym 9:30am

Sun 15th March - Long Run @ 10am - min 115 mins "on feet" - 9 min/mile pace

Sat 21st March - Fartlek Hills Session gym 9:30am

Sun 22nd March - Long Run @ 10am - min 120 mins "on feet" - 9 min/mile pace

Start points TBC for long runs

Anyone interested? See me on the Saturdays @ gym or email me
