My Mountain Marathon Training Online Program – Week 7

My Mountain Marathon Training Online Program – Week 7

Back home again after a stunning week at Madeira running in the mountains.

The week at Madeira was so great! Both the Skyrace and all the trailrunning the week after, but I can feel now that my body is tired and that this will be a training week of rest and recovery.

Training status – Fitness chart

Each month my coach Fernando will show me a my fitness progress in a fitness chart.

Blue line means my fitness. Pink line is the fatigue that each workout produces in my body, and the yellow line is the state of rest.

The right combination between fatigue and rest makes your fitness go up, but we also have to control fatigue to avoid overtraining.

This month I have gone from earning 20 points to a level of 30 points CTL fitness.

With my my plan, making all the trainings, I can get arround 45-50 points CTL, which will allow me to run distances between 35-50 Kilometers. And this should be enough to make it through my big goal in August, “Buff, Bydalens Fjällmaraton 50k / 2900 D+ “.

Here you can see a link in English where this chart is explained.
