Colour Key: 
      Recovery / Key Workout / Race or Testing

This is the basic week training plan that will – hopefully – get me through the Danielesque Trail half marathon in relatively decent shape.  The half marathon is actually a little longer than a standard half at 13.8 miles over some pretty killer terrain.  I’ve been told doubling my road half mary time is a good goal.  Yikes.  In the next few weeks I’ll be doing a little recon training on the course, but I what I know of it so far is that it’s all stair-steps with one helluva lot of elevation.  Have a look at the profile... http://www.pmimage.com/daniel/ele_profile.gif ... yes, that’s elevation in feet along the left hand side.

NOTES: 
Monday:       Day off, focus on yoga stretching and core work
Tuesday:      Easy pace run, flat terrain
Wednesday: Moderate pace run, flat to rolling terrain 
                     Optional easy swim
Thursday:     Key endurance run, easy pace, flat to rolling terrain 
Friday:          Easy pace run, flat terrain
                     Optional easy swim
Saturday:     Moderate run, flat to rolling terrain
                     Optional easy ride – for fun!
Sunday:        Key strength run, challenging hilly terrain 
 
* Aug 27 & Sept 11   10K trail races in place of long hill runs
