The Training Plan

With Carolyn, Jim and Sandra training for Lochaber Marathon (April 15) and Sean doing London a week later, the plan is geared towards Lochaber.


We are adopting the First Plan (based on Furman Institute-Run faster, run less). This incorporates running 3 times each week-1x speed session, 1x steady pace run and 1x long run.  The first 2 sessions will be based on training at Kirkintilloch Olympians on Tues/Thurs evenings.  the long run is as follows.
