Hi , I am currently on a MAF training routine ( low intensity and low HR ) .
Have been doing it just over 1 month and all seems to be going pretty good.
I am running just over 6 min/k and do about 30k Mon - Fri and currently try to do 10k on both Saturday and Sunday commitments permitting. ( so about 50K on a good week )
It is not the most exciting training ever so as a bit of an incentive have decided to do plan to do a 50K Ultra in about 7 or 8 months time.
This run will be totally distance orientated so no fast speed involved.Early stage planned time would be about 7 hours.
Question is
plan A. Keep runs as they are till ive done 3 months at MAF. Then increase one of my weekend "long runs " from 10K increasing by 10% per week culminating to a 50K early August.
Plan B. As ive already done 1 steady month at MAF, start increasing one of my weekend "long runs " from 10k increasing by 5% per week culminating to a 50K late September.
Which of these plans seem best option ? If Any!
Any comments welcome CAC.
