Training proposal?? - 13:51 09 Feb 05
As some of you know i train with the London skaters Speed team, and we have a qasi-training plan which i am going to try and do at elvetham heath.
Sunday Where: Hyde Park, the beach. Map: http://tinyurl.com/4th62 When: 09.00am What: 10 x 500m sprints, 80% effort (not heart rate), 3 minutes rest in between each interval.
Normally every Sunday, generally for some interval training as above. Tuesdays Where: Elevtham Heath. PM for details, and to confirm if coming in case I decide to do something else that evening. When: 20.00 What: 3km intervals, 100% effort, 3 minutes rest in between each interval, this is tough.
Wednesdays Where: Elevtham Heath. PM for details, and to confirm if coming in case I decide to do something else that evening. When: 19.00 What: 20km long slow skate, easy workout, focus on technique, then off to Hart Leisure centre.
Thursdays Where: Elevtham Heath. PM for details, and to confirm if coming in case I decide to do something else that evening. When: 20.00 What: Ladder drill.
Training Info and Safety Training is all about a bunch of us getting together and training with each other to help motivation. There's no need to: Feel you have to take part. Do the full training session. Do the full intensity. If the training doesn't meet with your own particular purpose/goals, then don't do it, do something that's effective for you. If you aren't fit/used to the particular intensity there's no shame at all in doing either less repetitions and/or a lower intensity. Quite a few people regularly sit out some intervals and or take it much easier. No worries with backing it off to make sure you stay within your own abilities and comfort zone - listen to your body.
We're supposed to be about fun and better quality of life at least as much or more than pure performance, so lets do stuff to keep enjoying ourselves and avoid getting injured.
When skating fast, please be very aware of pedestrians and other traffic. You're responsible for how you skate so make sure you skate within your own ability to stop - it's always better to avoid having an accident and instead train harder another day. Also when doing intervals please ensure you can stop before skaters in front of you.
