Plan 5 – Week 6

  • 18th August 2025

I did not do the Amble at the end of previous week and liaised with coach to tweak my plan accordingly but still had a disrupted week because ofย  a visit to see friends near Chester. I managed four sessions which were 2 x S&C, one run and one effort on hills. I kept in touch with coach throughout the week and was given time off for good behaviour, so I could enjoy the Chester trip without trying to fit in longer runs. Did plenty of walking. All is going well but I have an annoying niggle which comes and goes down back of legs and beneath glutes. Maybe treat myself to a sports massage soon!

Plan is fine and keeping in touch with coach is always reassuring as he will tweak and advise if something does not feel quite right.

I haven’t got to the bottom of it yet – it’s worst after exertion followed by rest. I overdid it with recent DIY efforts and since then the pain has come and gone, often comes on after sitting then having to walk eg onย  trip to Chester.ย  It first started after enforced rest when I had a skin graft on leg.

SUMMARY

  • Week: ๐Ÿ™„ Not quite good enough
  • Plan: ๐Ÿ™„ Not hitting my targets
  • Pts: โœ… Yes, it feels right

INJURIES/NIGGLES ๐Ÿš‘

backs of legs but not necessarily when running

  • Pain Level: : varies - 2 - 7/10

COACH

Well done Sarah, thanks for the feedback and hope you a lovely time in Chester. Sorry to hear about that pain, it sounds uncomfortable. I’m not hear to tell you what to do in your spare time, but what I would say is perhaps try and make things as easy on yourself as possible. So maybe keeping the DIY to a limit, a few hours a day, might help. It’s hard to day. I also wonder if we could change the approach slightly as this would depend totally on personal preference. So adding in 4 runs instead of 3, but reducing the time of those runs. So for example rather than 1 90 min run, we have 2 runs of 30 and 60 mins. What this might achieve is keeping you more mobile, rather than perhaps tightening up on those days you are not running. Happy to make that change if you’d also prefer to get out more often. Especially at this time of year when the weather is kind. Drop me a WhatsApp if you want to try that.
