Team QCPD 18 Week Marathon Training for Milo 2009 Manila Eliminations on 5 July 2009

Team QCPD starts training on March 4, 2009 the for Milo 2009 Manila Eliminations with the goal of FINISHING it. Finishing is in caps to emphasize that the goal is to finish it injury free and not pretend to aspire to qualify for the national finals with a sub-4 performance. We shall be using Hal Higdon's novice program (http://www.halhigdon.com/marathon/Mar00novice.htm) for this training. The schedule is adjusted to meld with our regular activities in QCPD, specifically the Monday Flag Raising and the Saturday Muster Inspection. As such, while Hal Higdon's program calls for runs on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays with cross-training on Sundays, we are adjusting our runs so that the short runs start on Wednesdays and long runs fall on Sundays. Cross training shall be swimming at Camp Crame Pool every Monday 3 PM onwards. Rest days shall be Tuesdays and Saturdays.

Here is the schedule of distances already converted to Kilometers: (please click on the image to enlarge it and "right click-save picture as" to download)



All runs shall start at 5:30 AM at QCPD Grandstand and unless it is Signal Number 3 or the world is about to end, the runs shall push through! Various routes shall be taken to prevent monotony. It is also possible that start and finish areas will be the various police stations in QCPD AOR. The Deputy District Director for Administration, Senior Superintendent Elmo San Diego already expressed his interest in leading the training.

Everyone (PNP, military, civilian, everyone!) is invited to join us in this training. The fastest runner that the team has right now has a pace of around 4:00 to 4:15 minutes per Km while the slowest are near-walkers (hehe), so unless you are super fit or super fat, you will find a suitable running companion/s from among us.

See you at the runs!

P.S. If there are interesting races that come up during the weekends, we shall participate in it. We will just run the additional Kms required by the schedule as necessary.
