Haven't been running all that long so I was wondering what people's weekly training plans are?
Also, is it better to run every day to improve your stamina etc or is this just doing
more harm than good?

hi,
just take it easy, train when you feel up 2 it and u will get better and faster gradualy:d

I agree with the frog, Jonesy,but don`t let yourself fall too much into the comfort zone when your training.

Comfort zone? Right so make yourself work but don't overdo it? K k.. sorted

Generally I would look to do some steady mileage 3-4 times a week and try to work in a speed sessions which raises the intensity a little.

Are you training for anything in particular?

 

[jonesy]

I'm following a programme that is meant to help you run 10K faster (than the previous programme that was walk a bit, run a bit) but it mainly seems to be about building up stamina through duration. My times are improving though, ish, but I probably need to put the extra speed work sessions in..not that I have a clue about doing them! Are they the hill exercises etc?

My programme revolves around harder sessions on Tuesday and Thursday with a long run on Sunday.
The rest of the week is made up of steady running.
I am training for the Berlin marathon in September so I am ramping the mileage up at the moment. Aiming to average 80+ for the next three months if my body holds out!
Progression is the key to getting better.
