Coach's Notes:

Training for the half/full marathon requires you to be predominantly aerobically fit.
|
|||||||||
|
We will, however, train your anaerobic system by working on faster turnout as we
|
|
||||||||
|
we move forward in the Session. These first 6 Weeks will be focused on Maintenance
|
|||||||||
|
and Base Training. During this phase I would like you to work on building a solid
|
|
||||||||
|
platform, so you may ease straight into the 12 Week Schedule without any problems.
|
|||||||||
|
"Aerobic" training is exercising with the use of oxygen. This might seem a bit strange
|
|||||||||
|
as you need oxygen to run. This is true, however, Aerobic Running is conducted at
|
|||||||||
|
a speed that allows your working muscles to be supplied with enough oxygen in
|
|
||||||||
|
order for them to function efficiently over a longer period of time.
|
|
|
|||||||
|
If you were to go out and run as hard as you could, you would slow down pretty
|
|
||||||||
|
quickly. This is because you are not getting enough oxygen to the muscles for them
|
|||||||||
|
to work efficiently. The muscles produce waste bi-products known as lactic acid
|
|
||||||||
|
which floods the muscles causing you to tire.
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||
|
Aerobic Training involves running at a slower speed allowing one to exercise for a
|
|||||||||
|
pro-longed period, which is what Half-Full Marathon Racing is all about.
|
|
|
|||||||
|
As mentioned earlier, to advance overall fitness, we will do faster "speed work"
|
|
||||||||
|
during the session to train the Anaerobic System.
