After working on Brad Hudson’s training plan for Masters Runners, I’ve decided to follow Jeff Galloway’s plan instead. I’ve used Galloway’s formula from “”Half Marathon You Can Do It”
” for the last 3 years and have been very happy with his process. Brad’s plan in “Run Faster
” recommends 2 hard workouts a week. I doubt my body would respond kindly to this plan. (I’ve only ever done one hard workout a week.)And I love the alternate week system that Galloway uses. One week has the long runs, the next tempos or intervals.
But I am going to dovetail in some of Brad’s suggestions:
- Hill sprints.
- 3 Core strength sessions a week.
- Progression runs – last part of a run – Hard!
- “Modify workouts as your go based on your body’s response to the last workout.”
Will see how it goes – My #1 priority is to stay healthy and uninjured!
