Hi, been off this thread for a while as I feel like a bit of traitor doing doubles. No-one has explained how it fits in to HR training. Take this week for example:
Monday - am 5 easy. pm 5 easy
Tuesday - am 5 easy. pm 10 easy
Wednesday - am 5 easy. pm 1 mile warm up, 1 mile cool down, 3x1mile reps @6.50 (2 min recoveries)
Thursday - am 5 easy. pm 10x800m@3.28 (2min recoveries), 1 mile warm up, 1 mile cool down
Friday - REST
Saturday - 1 mile warm up, 5 miles tempo, 1 mile cool down
Sunday - 12 miles below 70% (8.49-9.24)

Having a rest day today. Just taken my RHR whilst sitting at my desk, its 44, about 4bpm less than normal so hopefully I am recovered feeliing a bit ropey the last few days. If it is consistently at this level for a few days I will have to revise my percentages.

Big Al - doing doubles is not Traitorous Behaviour.
The principles are the same Easy is Easy - Hard Is Hard!
Just make sure you eat very soon after the first session and fill the glycogen window (it's the only time it really SHOULD be done!)
The ONLY thing I'd say i that you are doing hard session on Weds and Thurs (nothing wrong with that - but 2 easy days should really follow) and a Tempo on Sat.
That said - if you are coping OK with it - it looks like a reasonable plan to me
You are doing more mile on double day than for your LSR though!

Thanks for the advice elbs. I do eat fairly soon after running and can safely say that I'm hungry most of the time! Might have to strap my HRM on again as well as the Garmin. Feel a bit like and IT suite when I go out like that tho!

Hi Hellen. First of all you are doing very well indeed from what I can see. Training is relative to ability and experience. Intervals or hard sessions are always hard no matter what ability you are, the only difference is that some runners do the reps faster than others!
Hopefully I WILL be racing on the weekend. I have been very careful all week, doing strengthening exercises and last night I went out for a nice steady run with very little pain as such after. This morning there was no pain at all so that' s a good sign.
BAW, I never really though about it until you mentioned how does the easy hard principle fit into doing two sessions per day. I tend to do say an easy one a lunch then a hard one in the evening. I know this isn't allowing a full day between sessions BUT I have yet to do many doubles in a week to be honest. What say you Elbee, would it be OK to do easy/hard one day then easy/hard teh next and so on or would it be best to do something like easy/easy the hard/hard, easy/easy? I agree with the bee on eating. Eat as soon as you can after the first session and make sure it's enough otherwise you will do the following session feeling wiped out.

OK, like the rest of the sire, this thread is now getting silly.
When I joined 2 years ago, people were running marathons, and then there was gobi and rat Race in the Comrades.
This year everyone's started doing ultras and marathons are ten a penny,
Now you are all running 6 times a day, and 10 on Sundays!
Sometimes I think this running lark is addictive!
