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
Ti
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.
Tt
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)
VP
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).
MP
Marathon Pace
Optimises Fat/Glycogen usage with Major Bio-Mechanical changes taking place at this intensity (80-85% max HR, 76-81% VO2)
EP
Easy Pace
The most important element of a training schedule: (65 to 78% max HR, 60 to 73% VO2)
