FIVE-WEEK TRAINING PLAN FOR THE BIRKEBEINER RACE.
We want to inspire you and help you prepare well for the race in June. There are now five weeks left
and you have the opportunity to make a good effort on your fitness.
The program takes into account that you train weekly and run approximately 3-4 times. However, it can be adjusted, so if you are not as experienced or do not want to train as much, you can moderate. The less you train, the more intensive sessions you can do each time.
Always keep in mind what your goal is and what you want to be good at.
- For hard sessions, standard warm-ups can be carried out. For example: 10-20 minutes of easy running with 3-4 build-up strides (about 20 sec) before starting.
- Long runs can also be divided into two sessions a day, such as a transport jog to and from.
- Tip: Don't forget to practice running downhill. Relax your body and lean forward a little.
