It was the first 100 I'd ever tried walking as part of my training. This time around I'm kind of going back to what worked before--lots and lots of mileage. Only this time I'm going to traing more on the course, be mindful of recovery and be strong enough to handle it all thanks to weight training early in the proces.<br /><br />Also, AJ, I'm assuming Brandon will host the annual night run again. It was super fun.<br /><br />WyattWyatt Hornsbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14224514798393011001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979545333979747089.post-65471350700997023082013-02-02T20:39:59.370-07:002013-02-02T20:39:59.370-07:00Curious about one thing: Are you dropping your spe...Curious about one thing: Are you dropping your speed walking? That seemed to be a late addition last year in your LT100 buildup. Ultimately, did you feel like it wasn't worth it?

Keep in mind that this early in training, Wyatt is not pushing the volume of miles he is used to and his body will be fresher. As he picks up the volume, his weight training will slow. It is a good blend.<br /><br />That said, I have a difficult time finding time to do frequent doubles and personally violate the hard easy rule by doing weights on off/easy days. I am trying to avoid that, but sometimes we just take what life gives us.<br /><br />AJAJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03256410616083520026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979545333979747089.post-81533381153922366962013-01-30T10:37:55.132-07:002013-01-30T10:37:55.132-07:00Dewey: I'm still learning about how weights an...Dewey: I'm still learning about how weights and running mix but I absolutely believe a hard run should come first. Running has to take precedence. I agree with you that weights before a quality session might compromise form--a dangerous scenario.<br /><br />On most of my recovery days I'll still run but at a slower pace. Mondays are usually an optional day for me. I'm going to build in some total rest days because I think they make a difference.<br /><br />WyattWyatt Hornsbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14224514798393011001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979545333979747089.post-58349504347042968702013-01-30T10:24:09.403-07:002013-01-30T10:24:09.403-07:00Wyatt, agreed on keeping weights away, during reco...Wyatt, agreed on keeping weights away, during recovery. We all are told time and time again to recover on recovery days, and be sure to fit in rest in our plan, but most of us get too motivated and don't really take time off. Real light cycling is a great near no impact activity for recovery that will promote blood flow. Then fitting in some hard cycling is a great way to "smoke" yourself without hitting the joints too hard, and I think you will be happy with the aerobic and quad improvements from it. As for weights on high intensity days....was wondering about the order of things? I would think that high intensity running should come first, so you are not fatigued and compromising form, leading to injury and lackluster speed work. Your legs will be tired and not turn over as fast as possible, and therefor you are training them to not turn over fast. Maybe do running first and get in a good session, then move to weights and go to fatigue/failure. Probably a much better option to prevent injury, and still be able to get in truly fast footwork. Just my thoughts on how I would approach it....let me know if you think I am wrong on this. Plan looks solid though, now its just discipline to stick to it.

By doing weights on recovery days one risks undermining recovery since weights stress muscles. What I'm doing are quality running sessions (e.g., fast stuff) immediately followed by weights, and then an active recovery day the next day. That way my recovery days are true recovery days and my hard days are true hard days.<br /><br />WyattWyatt Hornsbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14224514798393011001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979545333979747089.post-22488015708098774982013-01-30T04:08:46.158-07:002013-01-30T04:08:46.158-07:00The purpose of the weight training is to build mus...The purpose of the weight training is to build muscle to counter injury and fatigue. If you do your weight training on your high intensity running days then your body won't build muscle as I understand it. l do my weight training and use the rowing machine on recovery days. Maximum weights low reps, tear em up. Get the blood flowing with 2 clicks on the rowing machine and do nothing else but eat the right stuff for the day.

I would like to join for that if I can.<br /><br />That looks like a great plan to me. I hope to do lots of trail running in April - June as that is clearly an area where I need some reps. I will try to join you on some long stuff if you keep me in the loop on your plans.<br /><br />I think the move to start with low volume and cross training is brilliant. Peaking too early is a real concern when you have a huge base like yours.AJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03256410616083520026noreply@blogger.com
