the Mile Project

If you would to like to run a mile under 8 min, 7, 6, 5 or 4 or any other intermediate time, there will be a schedule for you.

PROtraining Philosophy

One size does not fit all

each PROtraining session is runner centred, based on their standard and aspirations. Based on these, each runner is prescribed a Personal Training Time (details below) and a suitable session from an on-site computer. Every runner is briefed individually and monitored throughout the session.

PB or Full Potential?

Running a PB is only part of the story. At PROtraining we will advise you on how to reach for your Full Potential.

Goal Orientated Training

Runners are encouraged to focus on a few Key Races and structure their training to peak for these events. Use other races as intermediate events. We normally have various training options on Tuesdays depending on your race plan and current fitness.

Prescribed Personal Training Times (PTTs)

We use the Precision Training Protocol developed by Trevor de Silva. A computer programme was used to generate the PTTs. The PTT is a function of current fitness + race target + type of session + the duration etc.These times will be given out each Tuesday.

Data Protection

Your PTTs and relevant training data (such as times, Heart Rate or Perceived Effort, as applicable) are monitored at each session and stored on two on-site computers.

Technical Aspects of PROtraining

Types of PROtraining Session and Acronyms

Threshold Interval Pace

Short Repetitions: 400m, 500m, 1km and 1mile with varying Recovery Intervals [Increases Resistance & Tolerance to fatigue] - normally specified in weekly email with the generic TP (88 to 92% MHR and 84 to 88% VO2 max). To derive maximum training benefit, usually, there is variable recovery time.

Threshold Tempo Pace

Longer Repetitions, different to Ti and between 1 mile and 2km (High stress repetitions to further Increase Resistance and more sustainable Tolerance to Fatigue)

sub maximal VO2 max Intensity:

400m, 500m, 1k reps to Increases Aerobic Capacity by improving oxygen intake and utilisation. (100% MHR and 100% VO2)

mRP

one mile Race Pace

200m, 400m and 500m reps at one Mile Race Pace to Increase Leg speed and Economy or Running, specially, in the early season (100% MHR, 100% VO2).

Marathon Pace

Optimises Fat/Glycogen usage with Major Bio-Mechanical changes taking place at this intensity (80-85% max HR, 76-81% VO2)

Easy Pace

The most important element of a training schedule: (65 to 78% max HR, 60 to 73% VO2)

Hybrids
