Merry Christmas & Happy New G(rrr)
Yeah, kick only swim training is bloomin hard on legs. Do that for an hour plus and it would be a darn good workout!!  G |

A few years ago I posted regularly on this forum when it was maintained by Happy G(rrr). So I am pleased to find that it is sill going under Lalli. I've had a lot of success with the Furman RLRF programme, always using their books as the basis. Some of the online versions of their programmes are very watered down. Each time I have strayed from the Furman FIRST principles I have ended up injured, with the inevitable loss of consistent running training and decline in race times. There is a 3rd edition of the book out this week which builds on the 2007 and 2012 editions, which might ignite some more interest in this niche approach to distance running. I've just realised that this post makes me sound like a book seller or a Furman rep - I'm not! I'm just interested in hearing about the experiences and results that runners/athletes gain from the RLRF training plans. |

G - I've been away from Fetch for the last few years - still running and biking though. But I have just started early retirement and suddenly find myself with so much more time! I can run and bike in the daylight (even in the winter!) and, of course, reinvigorate my Fetch. With a downward incline and a following wind, I might even be able to manage another 3:15 marathon? I am girding myself up to post on that forum! |
