Hey guys haven't posted in this section before just been readingf alot of the good advice - thought I'd take tha plunge !!! - So go easy !!


re looking at my training week so looking for new ideas!!

Basically getting ready to do the Great North run again (oh plus a 20Kg pack!!), butr also want to push myself on and get a good 'general structure'.

This is what Im thinking - now in view of what I'm doing / and what I want to do:

Monday A.M Rest P.M Rest
Tuesday A.M. 5 miles run P.M Weights + Boxing
Weds A.M SS Light Run P.M Cardio Circuit - Total 8 miles
Thursday A.M 5 - 7.5 miles P.M. Weights + Boxing
Friday A.M SS Light Run P.M Weights
Saturday A.M SS Light Run
Sunday A.m. Weights and Boxing P.M Long run 10 - 13 .1 miles

Now should my steady state runs be on empty stomach e.g normally i take on a whey shake in water before training ??

Aiming for a good level of fitness and to drop somem body fat ?? !!

At ghe moment im 14st 8 lbs , 30 years old.

Run 5 miles in 36 mins and 10 miles in 1 hr 10 (un-weighted!!)

Any ideas or views would be gratefully received.

are you doing the run with a 20k pack,if you are then you should do some of your training with the pack on,also your training for perfprmance so IMO eat or drink some form of carbs before training AM or PM that way you can put more effort in.
