Hi, has anyone tried training using the schedules from Runners World "Smart Coach" system? Seems less extreme than some RW schedules I've seen and seems to nicely blend slow/ long runs that fit well within the HR training ethic, with structured speedwork. It also fits very nicely with my current 4 days a week training structure so won't begger up my social life or naff the missus off!
Thinking of trying it for training for a 10K in February.
Cheers, Mark

Hi Mark,
I haven't seen the Smartcoach schedules but if they fit in with your requirements and lifestyle why not gove them a try? Runing isn't an exact science and we all live and learn from our schedules anyway. Plus of course you should only use them as a guideline as to what sessions you should have every week. They should not be set in stone every day so that way you can fit the training in around your life. Good luck and have fun!
Regards,
Ian

ran to and from body pump last night, just 2 miles each way.
did the same last week
this week both there and back were 30s/mile faster AND there was 6bpm lover!!
this week I didnt run on wed as I normally do (had other things on) and didnt swim thur lunch cos I was too tierd and hungry.
perhaps there is something to be said for this resting lark!!

Big breakthrough this morning with 10.09 mi/mile pace at exactly 70% HR average. Was only 2 miles, but still am delighted with the progress. Perhaps there's something in this running in the cold having an effect on the HR?

I think you are right Anoushka, I just did a 14 miler (longest in a long time) @ 10:37 pace, really pleased with that one....... just a few niggles behind the knee and in the foot along the way but was able to run the last 1/2 m at about 8:25ish pace.the overall run was bang on 70% AHR 150

Revised time due to the garmin should have stopped at 14m instead it kept going while I walked .12 so pace is 10:28........for the 14m

I have an interesting question, don't know if anyone can answer it. I was out tonight for a jog, easy pace as I've been unwell with a chesty cough/cold/flu thing and still not better. Heart rate at 8 min miles was 135, then I started to feel strange, had spots in front of my eyes and my heart rate smoothly went up to 215 (which is 30 more than its max). I stopped, feeling really dizzy and it promptly reversed its acceleration and went back to 120 or so within 30 seconds so I carried on with the run and felt almost alright for the rest of the run.
Has anyone heard of such a thing before, or experienced anything similar? I have had this several times in the distant past and once about a year ago, also when i was slightly unwell.

No but if I was you I would post this on the clinic. I don't think you should run with any chesty colds etc.
