Training for Argentan
In preparation for the Argentan half-marathon, I have set up the following training plan:
Week 1: one 12×200 session (36″) and one 12×300 session (57″), plus four recovery sessions
Week 2: one 5×800 session (1’45”) and one 12×300 (56″) session, one 25mn threshold session and three recovery sessions
Week 3: one 6×1000 session and one 8×500 session, one 30mn threshold session and three recovery sessions
Week 4: one 2000-400-1600-800-1200 session and one 6×1000 session, plus four recovery sessions
Week 5: one 3×2000 session and one 8×500 session, one 45mn threshold session and three recovery sessions
Week 6: one 6×300 session and three recovery sessions
and I hope I can stick to it for the three coming weeks.

If I had to do this, I’d hope I could stick to LIFE, both physically and mentally!
My man just got one of these:

(for just a few Keuros). Plots of everything: speed variations, heart-beat, calories burning (so you can calculate exactly the number of “pains au chocolat” you can afford to eat at lunchtime!!!)… He was so excited he woke up at 5 this morning to try it…
I really don’t understand you, guys.
I wish you a perfect sticking to your training plan and a consequently perfect half-marathon. :-)
