News and articles from Running Training Plan
Bit of a delay since my last post, but I have a reason…
I followed the training plan I decided on pretty well for a week and a half. It incorporates things like hill repeats, fartlek runs, long slow runs and the like. It was all going really well, and then I tweaked my achilles tendon running for a bus a few days ago. Doh! Trying to sprint up a hill from a standing start after being read more

Mostly flat circuit outside my house on pavement. Now the distances are increasing a bit more, it’s becoming impossible to find a flat circuit. So an element of (gentle!) hill training is creeping in!
A mix of smooth and rough pavement and road.
