to work for me.

Notes
-
Training days only twice a week
- Recovery
days 4 times a week
- Must
have rest day each week
- Intensity
level should be at less than 70%
of heart rate reserve.
i.e. not puffing, able to hold a
conversation in full sentences.
- Better
still, buy a heart rate monitor
- You
can do a lot on a bike. A bike will
aid recovery and allow you to build
volume without the risk of injury
and overtraining.
- The
long day builds gradually to 100%+
of your expected event time
- If
you can't do the time, you are going
too fast. Slow Down! Walking is
OK.
- Carry
a pack. Drink while you exercise.
Snack on Carbos. i.e. Gingernuts,
Muesli bars, Banana, Dried fruit,
Jet Planes, Leppin, whatever suits
you, while training. You need to
accustom your body to refuel on
the go.
- Don’t
skip the recovery days. They are
just as important!
- Practise
running down hill. It's the downhill
that hurts you.
- Stretch.
Get some professional advice!
- Don’t
worry if you miss a day. Vary your
training to suit your own circumstances.
- Enjoy!
