After getting reasonably fit towards the end of last year I suffered a calf problem and then had some bug/infection of some sort that has kept my running to a minimum for the last 3 months... in fact just after I made up my mind to go for a BG attempt!
I think I'm better now and I have about 3 and a half months to get fit for the attempt. I think I can budget the following sessions:
A long run on the weekend (any length - local or lakes)
fell runners run wed night
one other evening run
one early morning run
two lunchtime runs - 40 mins
Question is how should I use these sessions? I live in Rainow, so I was thinking of the early morning session and one evening session doing hill reps for at least an hour up and down kerridge.
Is this the best use of the time - building strength? - or should I just be clocking the miles up?
What sort of mileage should I be aiming for per week?
Any comments welcome, especially from past BGers!
