My ...Thanks for the comments and interest everyone. <BR/><BR/>My feeling is that my 'base' is fairly good and I should be able to slip into the conditioning phase without too much problem. The plan is to do 6 weeks and then evaluate. I might then take a few weeks from the co-ordination/anaerobic phase and add more base or jump right into the hills. <BR/><BR/>It should be interesting though to see what happens if I can stick with it.Love2Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17862751632099235794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17619356.post-1164750545378994542006-11-28T17:49:00.000-04:002006-11-28T17:49:00.000-04:00Oh, now I feel so un-proper un-trained...somebody ...Oh, now I feel so un-proper un-trained...somebody hit me on a head!

It's still very much part of the aerobic conditioning, but it is a nice bridge between the the conditioning and faster training.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573945547139938065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17619356.post-1164707680166435652006-11-28T05:54:00.000-04:002006-11-28T05:54:00.000-04:00I agree with Mike.

In no way does this make it easier - it just trains a different system. The system used during a marathon incidentally.<BR/><BR/>The Lydiard program is designed to make physical changes to the cardiovascular system. That is the reason you see leaps in performance from level to the next in runners. The ability to run fast is extended to cover 26.2 miles. This makes all the difference.<BR/><BR/>While there is more than one way to skin a cat a lot of other programs either are designed to A) accommodate your schedule or B)sharpen your current conditioning.<BR/><BR/>Lydiard is neither. You must accommodate him. Changes need to be made in order to do it. This is the first indicator that you have entered serious training. Secondly, Lydiard changes your conditioning to a level never dreamed of.<BR/><BR/>Pare back the speed and hills, keep the coordination phase(for this will teach you your new marathon pace)and load up on the aerobic conditioning.<BR/><BR/>Go for it!Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03279497885714621045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17619356.post-1164691191644856402006-11-28T01:19:00.000-04:002006-11-28T01:19:00.000-04:00Mike has made me a believer.

You might just find that it works for you.<BR/><BR/>And if you must see a photo of me in my pink poncho you can click on the link to Michelle's blog and there is a photo of us all in our poncho's before the start.robtherunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05066981363064781863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17619356.post-1164681552745791342006-11-27T22:39:00.000-04:002006-11-27T22:39:00.000-04:00Since Lydiard was such a huge proponent of trainin...Since Lydiard was such a huge proponent of training your aerobic system first and foremost, have you considered adding more time to the conditioning and subtracting it from the coordination/anaerobic phases? The way you have it set up now it seems close to a 60/40 split between aerobic and anaerobic focus, though the marathon is almost a 100% aerobic event.<BR/><BR/>Just a thought to put out there, though I'm sure what you have planned would work well too.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573945547139938065noreply@blogger.com
