Schedule is based on schedules from Arthur Lydiard's Book "Run the Lydiard Way" 1978, pp. 172-175, 184-187 Note:Enjoy your training - try to do it with someone else or in a group. Listen to your body, if you have an injury or are tired- don't train! Remember for injuires - RICE- Rest, Ice, Compress, Elevate and see a physio! Train on GRASS whenever possible and don't worry if you miss a day - especially if you have sports practices or games - they count as an A -aerobic session! See codes of training at the start of the schedule. ENJOY!!

Training Keys: WARM UP: Each session, especially from D-N, needs a warm up: 5-10 mins of jogging followed by 5-10 mins. of DYNAMIC stretching WARM DOWN: All sessions, including races, need a warm down: 5-10 mins of jogging followed by 5-10 mins. of STATIC stretching (For details of stretches see Sport smart tips from ACC: www.acc.co.nz) A: Aerobic Running - running at 70-90% of your max, so is hard running or "steady state" to finish pleasantly tired B: Easy fartlek running - a combination of small sprints, sustained running for up to a minute, hills, jogging, gets you fit fast! D: Hill Springing - see Paul, springing slowly up a gentle hill, raising knees high, driving arms, straight back - jog at top, stride down E: Steep hills or steps running- like D above, strengthens thighs, is important for helping improve quads for knee lift for stride and speed F: Leg Speed over 80-100m usually, concentrate on using quads and stomach muscles to pull legs through quickly - recover with W300m H: 45m wind sprints(hard out with the wind behind you), jog 155m for recovery, for sharpening and practice speed for race start/finish K: Speed Repetitons over 150-200m, jog 400m for full recovery and walk 100m, for working on speed and endurance for race start/finish L: Time Trials- at about 90% race pace with no sprint finish, keep an even pace, this is to practise racing and to learn pace judgement N: Relaxed Striding over 150-200m, don't sprint but run fast, relaxed and concentrate on your form, recover with 200m jog R: Rest- means REST, it is important to let your body recover from races, training and life in general! Get good sleeps before racing! W: Jogging means exactly that, what your Grandma would do (unless she is an ex Olympian!), talk, throw a ball, frisbee, SLOW!!!!
