I like this plan. A lot. Now I’m aware it’s likely we will need to continue to be flexible, but that’s fine. I’ve not put in any group sessions as such, but if you are available to attend any we can simply tweak the schedule. But we’ll do that on a week to week basis.

The training load of 1200 is decent. It’s what I’ve been working to myself lately and I believe it’s got me in the best shape I’ve been in.

I’ve packed in a load of races, I know you like to race. We don’t have to do them all, or go eye balls out in each one. But I just wanted to create a plan which worked well for you.

4 runs a week is the average, with 2 sessions. So it’s achievable in my opinion. Those sessions evolve as the plan goes on. We start off more 5k and speed based. That then switches to some big 10k sessions before the Barry Richards and Battle 10k.

Then we progress nicely to more hill sessions in time for HHM and Beachy Head. All the while at the weekends we’ll have plenty of HM sessions to work on.

I’ve not put in any S&C for now. I can have as much or as little input in that as you please. It’s really about finding what works best for you.

I’ve made the switch to 10 mins a day, little and often, that’s what I find works for myself. Let me know if you want me to set sessions.

Not much else to add. Lots of good stuff in here. I appreciate work will come calling, but apart from the races, these sessions can be done anywhere really. So hopefully you are able to find that level of consistency.

I think we both know how good you could be and I think you’ve only just scratched the surface. Let’s kick on and see if we can turn a few heads with some impressive race times over the next 3-4 months.
