My girlfriend and are are using the C2 interactive training programme that we've adapted to distance rather than time so essentially it's the same thing.
We're both training for the GBs in Nov and are now a good half way through the 26 week programme.
Having recently tested we'd not made a huge improvement on our PB's (only 10ths of a sec).
For those of you that are familiar with the C2 programme we have only just starting the AN sprints so we appriciate that we're going to continue to improve over the course of the programme with the fast twitch muscles now being worked harder.
We both acknowledge that part of the answer for further improvement is to work harder in training
, were already training 5 days a week and need those 2 days for recovery so more training days is out of the question.We're aware that there are loads of other programmes out there however are not interested, having invested best part of 14 weeks, in changing training programmes.
We're not happy that there's little in the programme that replicates race distance or our target pace, testing and race day is very much an unknown.
My girlfriend has endurance nailed as she one of the top marathon rowers so were looking at taking out some of the endurance sessions for these last 12 weeks and adding sessions like 2 x 1000 at race pace or close to race pace, 1 x 1500 and 1 x 2000 at good pace to get better used to race distance and race pace.
Any thoughts / comments would be greatfully welcomed
