RW Marathon Plan - Story So Far
Have been following the RW Improvers Marathon Plan - a 14 week plan
1st 4 weeks were the building endurance section - hill work and moderate distance (14 - 15 miles long runs)
Now in a recovery and adaptation week, so only running 7 miles on Sat 28th March from gym normal time
Next 3 weeks are focused on building running economy (long runs of 18 and 2 20's) with cross training and intervals in between
Good so far - but very different!

Sunday 8th March - Change of start time and place
Due to unforseen circumstances, I will be running from Apperley Bridge Marina @ 1pm instead of the original plan to run from the gym at 10am
Aim is to run at 9min/mile pace for 12 miles on easy going canal paths (lower impact)
Cheers

What Makes A Good Running Coach?
What makes a good Endurance Running Coach?
Should:
Be available for consultation on training plans
Be available for advice on running technique (when asked by athlete)
Be supportive and encouraging at all times
Give feedback on performance only when invited to by athlete
Respect personal space of athletes
Plan appropriate training sessions that athletes are invited to attend
Run training sessions that are athlete centred, not coach driven
Should not:
Embarrass or humiliate an athlete in private or in public
Give opinions when not invited to by athlete
Expect all athletes to perform at same level
Lead a training session that allows no input from athletes participating
UK Athletics has a clear philosophy:
An athlete centred approach in which the needs of each athlete are paramount and placed before the interests of , and pressures imposed by, the coach
An inclusive attitude in which all athletes can take part, are valued and encouraged to explore their own potential
The importance of providing a fun and safe environment
Encouraging athletes to be involved in their own development and empowered to take greater responsibility for it.
