2012: The Plan for next week.
On Sunday 25 March the Maroochy Marathon is being run so my
plan for the week needs to take this into consideration. This, plus the fact that I have to travel and
stay up at Toowoomba on Wed night make the week a bit unusual. So the plan for now will look like this:
Monday: 8km run
with dog
Tuesday: Speed
and endurance (I think)
-
1km warm-up
-
3 x 200m sprint followed by no rest but maintain
quick pace
-
2 x 300m sprint as above
-
3 X 200m sprint as above
-
1km warm-down
Wednesday: 8km
run with dog
Thursday: stuck
up at Toowoomba. Find a pool go for a
swim
Friday: hopefully
climbingat Kangaroo point if the weather is fine
Saturday: Start
practice
-
2km warm-up
-
5 x 200m standing starts
-
Wash riding practice if I can find a suitable victim
for the morning
-
Cruise with others
-
Back to club house total about 9 relaxed km…
Sunday:
race day.
Get nutrition right. At
the State champs I had no brecky and my water bladder pipe got squashed at
about the 10km point. After about 12km I
just fell to pieces and had no energy. Worse
still my balance went out the door and I had to spend most of my time just
staying upright and crawling home. Since
then I have had quite a few longer sessions and got smart about nutrition. On the day ill start with a bowl of cereal cup
of coffee and tea and plenty of water. I’ll
have a banana just before the race and will have my water bladder sorted
properly with 2l of water mixed with Endura.
