HOW TO KNOCK 25 MINS OFF YOUR MARATHON TIME

PART ONE
BACK IN 2003 I HAD MY BEST EVER YEAR, RUNNING MY FASTEST LONDON MARATHON 2.48 AND THEN GOING ON TO SET P.B.'S FOR 4 MILES 21.31 AND 5 MILES 27.11
BACK THEN I USED IDEAS FROM PETER JANSSENS BOOK; 'TRAINING LACTATE PULSE RATE'. AFTER TRYING MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF TRAINING I AM NOW COMING TO REALIZE THAT THE BEST WAY TO IMPROVE PORFORMANCE IS A COMBINATION OF HIGH MILEAGE AND LONG TEMPO INTERVALS.
NOW READ ON AND YOU TO COULD SEE A DRAMATIC IMPROVEMENT IN YOUR RUNNING. CLICK ON TO ENLARGE PAGES;

HARROCK HILL RACE

ENDURANCE

I always seem to run at my best when I'm putting in a high mileage. I remember reading that Greg Lemond needed a lot more miles than Sean Kelly to get fit because Sean had more sprinter type muscles than Greg. Well I would not dream to compare myself to a great 3 time Tour De France winner but i think am a real big old diesel engine that seems to go better the more hours I put in, so todays run should do me no end of good! Set off on my normal route over the sandhills to meet up with the guys from the club, Brian got us to do some hill loops in the pinewoods, I held my self back until the last effort because I have the Harrock Hill race on Wednesday, after, I headed back over the big sand dunes inc the infamous big dipper, as I got close to the Royal birkdale club house I found my way blocked by a high fence, I was hoping as the golf open championships had finished on Sunday the paths would by open again, Bummer! i had to retrace my way back and take a long diversion home, by the time i got home I'd been running for 2 hours 37 mins. despite having no energy drinks or tablets I finished feeling pretty good, a good sign I hope. 8 x hills [ efforts up and down the hill] = 2.37

Sat 19th
I set off on a long run, feeling a bit tired so kept the pace steady, I went over some of the biggest sandhills Southport has to offer,the hills are short sharp and steep and if that is not enough then the soft sand is there to make you work even harder! After an hour I reached the pinewoods which gave me some welcoming relief from the gusting wind.I headed back onto the sand dunes on my return trip, keeping away from the Royal Birkdale golf course as some of the paths are blocked because of the Open golf championships.i reached the tarmac after 2 hours 10 mins, picking the pace up on the road I started to feel quite strong reaching 9 then 10 mph at the end. = 2.35 mins

Put my Lunar Nike trainers through their paces running 3 x 1 mile with rob and Tracey in Vic park and the shoes came out of the test with flying colours, they are awesome, the best shoes I've ever had! They make you feel like you are running in bare feet but with loads of cushioning. The lunar's are a hugh evolution step up, go check them out at your local running store but make sure you take plenty of cash with you, you won't want to leave with out a pair once you've tried them on, for sure!

I WONDER HAS ANYONE RUN FASTER?

BACK IN THE GROOVE

It feels good to be building up the miles again, yesterday I ran down over the sandhills to meet up with the club. Brian set us a session of 20x 30secs. I ran the efforts at about 4.30 pace, after the session I ran back with rob and Mike over the sand dunes and then along the coast road, I finished with 2 hours 6 mins, job well done!

First of the long runs

Set out to Robs house on a cool windy day, Was a bit worried Rob might give me a hammering and expected I might get left behind! we heading off to the Royal Birkdale golf course [ the scene for the British open championships over the next two weeks,its massive with the golf fans around the world!] along the big sandhills and then through the ainsdale and formby pinewoods before returning along the wind swept beach. the last 3 miles were along the coast road and it was here i noticed that Rob was started to lose pace and starting to suffer! I find the CHIRUNNING really helps on these long runs because you don't have to use you leg muscles as much as normal running, your forward lean and gravity pulls you forward so all you have to do is pick your feet up and relax the legs but keep your core muscles engaged so you can hold a good posture, AWESOME!
I felt relieved to finish feeling good, but maybe i was lucky because Rob was feeling the effect from his last two runs. av pace 7.8 mph 19.11 miles =2.26
