This week, yet again had lots of new aspects,. Starting off with my new training layout with some new sessions added. For a while now I have wanted to try the double training approach, although I am mostly completing them one after another I also have the option to seperate them to either end of the day, and only do so when it’s 2x runs in a day.

Running in hills develops leg strength as well as the strength of the tendons and ligaments around the knee and ankle. Developing leg strength is important, as it makes for a more powerful contraction of the leg muscles to propel you forward faster. Including hills regularly, particularly early in your build up will see great dividends in the improvement of your running. This workout is great to include early in your build up to develop leg strength.

This week was yet another eventful week down here in Dunedin. On Monday we celebrated St Paddy’s and I cannot tell you I have ever seen more students dress up in green than I did then, it was definitely a new experience. I guess I better get used to for the annual event that it is down here. My week’s continue to be full with lectures and study which I have continued to stay on top of, which is definitely hard but achievable if I make sure to structure my week as well as I can.

Spending time at an intensity you can sustain with a short Rest Interval (RI) can help develop your threshold capability. This workout takes things a bit further, stepping the intensity up each set without altering the Rest Interval (RI), making the workout progressively harder. This session is great for all cyclists and triathletes who have limited time to train.
