My Day One

Well this is day one, I don't really know when is D-Day, but I am presuming its gonna be a Saturday. That's four possible dates since all I do know is that it happens in March...hence the closest day would be 5th March leaving me with approximately...195 days...Gadgets on Win 7 are helpful xD Should make a count down :)

Anyways, my general plan will be as follows:

1) Reaction, Coordination (technique), and general aerobic
2) Strength Training and Speed work (incremental) and Efficiency
3) Lactic Acid Threshold and Long Runs/Tempo Runs

I'm gonna follow this sequence...as I go along I would of course mix from the previous sections to keep a good balance. That's gonna be my macrocycle and mesocycles.

My friends have opted to start on long run immediately but I think I would prefer to strengthen, condition and coordinate first, this will give me more speed and efficiency in my run...I want to run a Half Marathon as quickly as possible and die in the end and not end up as fresh as a flower. Speed is as important as Endurance even in long runs... They will probably do good, but I want to be better :D

I still have to make a membership with a gym and track near by...so I would have the tools I need for my training...apart from that, I need some sport apparel like training clothes, a good stopwatch, and most importantly running shoes...

Today I will start off with a very general circuit which will include general strengthening of core muscles, reaction time in leg mostly calf...and a general tone up...
