RON HILL
Ron Hill’s most famous race was his 1970 Commonwealth Games Marathon victory, winning in a time of 2:09:28. At that point of time his performance was the 2nd fastest in history. His training log below shows his weekly routine training for a 2:17:11 marathon. The same year he participated in the 1968 Olympic Games at moderate altitude, finishing 7th in 29:35.
Hill’s Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday workouts rotate every second week with:
Monday: 2×2:00 bursts with 1:30 rest interval; up to 20×0:30 bursts with 30sec rest intervals; 2×2:00 bursts
Tuesday: 3×1.6km fast with 0.8km rest interval
Wednesday: Hard bursts on all the hills
* Number stride as defined by Hill is counting every 2nd stride while running hard, and then running the same count at an easy recovery pace.
