10-DAY-WEEK PROGRAM



This sample Running Program is an example of the Personalized Training Program which will be built specifically for you as part of your Member Services benefits when joining RUNY2K. All individual Programs are built with the following factors being considered:

  1. YOUR RUNNING HISTORY - particularly over the past six weeks
  2. YOUR INJURY HISTORY- both overuse injuries and acute injuries
  3. YOUR SHORT AND LONG TERM PERSONAL FITNESS & LIFESTYLE GOALS


10-DAY-WEEK PROGRAM

This is a specialized Running/Training Program developed for runners who have a great deal of time flexibility and who are interested in extracting their very best performances of an extended period.

The Program is based on the theory that every month a runner should have five different types of training sessions, namely:

1. Long Runs
2. Medium Runs
3. Track Work
4. Tempo Runs
5. Hill Runs

Based on the same theory, there should be 3 long runs, 3 medium runs, 3 track sessions, 3 hill runs and 6 tempo runs.

This Program is difficult to plan unless one divides the month into three - 10 day weeks. The logic is that every 10-day-week will include a long, medium, hill, track and two tempo sessions. This ultimately means six different training runs spread over 10 days.

SUBSEQUENTLY, WHEN REMEMBERING THE RUNMASTER'S THREE COMMANDMENTS OF CONSISTENCY, MODERACY AND REST, THIS PROGRAM SHOULD ONLY BE ATTEMPTED BY WELL-TRAINED RUNNERS WITH OVER 18 MONTHS OF SOLID TRAINING UNDER THEIR BELTS!

NOTE: The Runmaster likes to combine these six sessions with two cross-training activities for ultimate performance return on training effort, but insists on two full days rest every 10 day week.

BARRY'S TEN RULES OF TRAINING

  1. Consider health & fitness as work in progress!
  2. Train -- don't strain.
  3. In training it's the time you spend -- not the distance you cover.
  4. You perform as well as you eat -- and sleep.
  5. Drink 250ml every 20 minutes -- more if it's hot.
  6. Stretching properly is as important as the training session.
  7. Never try anything new in a Race -- drinks, clothing or techniques.
  8. Eat some high carbohydrate within 30 minutes of completing a training session.
  9. Try to get extra sleep on the days you train -- a good rule is minute for minute.
  10. Listen to your body -- it's your best friend -- don't let it down and it won't let you down.
