Block 3 Training Plan

PH Racing Club are pleased to reveal the third block of our training program which has been put together by our coach, highly respected athlete Ben Hukins.

Block Duration 7 weeks: 15th August to 2nd October

Block Focus: Half Marathon

Focus Event: Great Scottish Run HM – 2nd October

The schedule should also get you in shape for other half marathons and 10kms during this period.

Notes:

1. Please note that while this block has a focus event(s) you are free to pick and choose whatever events you want to participate in. Key to a successful training program is the progression and development of training phases towards a specific goal and thus the nature of this block duration and focus.
2. Please note that some sessions have an optional number of reps. The idea is for those regulars at the sessions that over time the sessions progress so we try and gradually increase the number of reps in a session. However, some of these get pretty hard and may be too much for someone new to the group, lacking fitness or unable to train regularly and thus the option is there to choose the number of intervals. The important thing is to do the reps at the right intensity.
3. I have put a couple of other suggested sessions in for those of you focusing on the GSR which you may consider. These are pretty long sessions of continuous running so not best suited to a Tuesday or Thursday at the loop but a group of you may want to consider getting together at another time to give these a bash.
