Bit of a cross post from my "training log", but i've signed up with a coach for a training plan in the hope of maximising efficiency of training and be as ready as possible for the tough run in March. Today also marks 2 months since the injury took place and whilst it's not fully recovered it's much better. i was clearly deluding myself when i initially thought i'd be back after a month!
Today was mainly the start and had me doing some hill reps and there's quite a few "hilly" runs in the training plan which i'm looking forward to after a few months of mostly flat runs. A little nervous about tackling some trails, especially given it's often dark these days when i go out, but going to give some light trails a go on Saturday when i can get out in daylight.
My only concern is that there doesn't seem to be a large build up in duration over the 4 weeks he's currently planned out. Even in week 4 the "long run" is only 75 minutes, whereas i'd have expected to have increased to 2 hours by then to then push on towards some long 20/30 mile runs in January/Feb. Particularly as i had hoped to tackle the Yorkshire 3 peaks next month!
I've asked his thoughts on it, it may be he's just being cautious due to my ankle so will see what he says.
