Katie sent me my first six week program this week and its really started to dawn on me the sheer volume of training that I am going have to do over the next 8 or 9 months.
Actually I have decided to ease myself into things by aiming to get to the weekly target of around 13 hours of training per week in week 6 of the program rather that from the get go. I was doing a lot of running last year and just prior to the Southland Marathon was averaging 9 or 10 hours per week, but since the Marathon it has been more like 5-6 hours per week. As such I am going to be cautious about upping my training level so rapidly.
I think Katie's program looks awesome and will be definitely cranking things up over the next 6 weeks. Lets hope the weather holds as I don't want to have to spend my rides in the basement on the wind trainer, I'd rather be out on the road enjoying the autumn air.
I'm going to start my program next week at around 6 hours for the week and gradually add to the length of individual sessions and to the length of each.
