Tuesday evening session might be slightly different but pts will be similar if you wanted to join in with the group again. Pretty big weekend so a little bit wary of that. Uckfield parkrun would be my recommendation for you to really enjoy the trails. Perhaps encourage someone like Ben Mc to join you for a showdown πŸ€”

All good on this as usual feeling fairly easy in all honesty. But still good.
Easy, careful using that word πŸ˜‚ Good to hear though and I think it shows how strong you are right now and I don’t feel there would be much to be gained from pushing harder, especially all the time you are doing it twice a week. Great work Steve.

Recoveries: Take 2-3 mins after the 8 min rep and 60s in between the 60 second reps.

A tough 5k session and the challenge is to see if you can hold your 5k pace in the 2nd 8 min rep when the legs are tired and you’re feeling fatigued.

Another tough session done, that one felt a little harder than it should I think the wind was playing a big part of that and for some reason I was so thirsty too.
Superb work as always. I was expecting a cross wind so when we turned it was a bit of a surprise. Always happy to hold onto some water in my bag if need be. But great running and pace Steve. I did a 5k cycle afterwards and didn’t even hit that pace πŸ˜‚πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

Zone 2: Easy

8 x 100 Meter Strides

Zone 7: 3K

If you have an accurate heart rate, then use that as your main data to determine pace, if not RPE is the best option. Hills are always going to cause them to go too high, unless you are super fit. Finish off with some strides.

Another solid run hitting some hills along the way, right calf a little tight to start with but loosened off after a while.
I’ve said it a few times already but loving how you soaked up the extra training pts. I think that’s down to all the hard work in previous plans. If the legs continue to behave then we should see an improvement in performance based on the level your training at right now, which is very exciting. Great work Steve

Another one ticked off, actually looking forward to tomorrow (that may change over night). Going to take the spikes as it would be good if I can wear them as there super light and fast.
Great work Steve, and pleased to hear you were looking forward to parkrun.

parkrun is the best!!! Every Saturday at 9am. A great opportunity to push our effort levels and run alongside other people. Make sure you get there nice and early for your WU & Strides. I normally aim for 8:15 to give myself plenty of time.

Well there was mud water and it was slippery so perfect really, actually really enjoyed it to be fair although im not to happy with the 2nd mile (abit slow) and I forgot were I was and should have pushed on sooner than I did as I didn’t turn the screw till nearly the last bridge which was to late then but nevermind I know for next time. Now looking forward to hitting the hills over the south downs tomorrow.
I’m so pleased you enjoyed this and I think this highlights the strength of a coach runner relationship, to not only put parkrun in the plan, but find the right parkrun for you. One which I knew you’d enjoy and would test you. I think what you’ve done is put down a nice little marker so perhaps in a few months time you can go back and see if you can beat that. Congrats on the P1, albeit it wasn’t that close, but makes me happy to read the feedback. Great work Steve.

Long runs are key. Fuel and hydrate well & join a group if you can.

Bloody fantastic that, not been over the south downs for ages. I reckon we should do a HR run over that way at some point would be a great place for a group run (although bedgebury would be very good to). Felt strong on the hills even after yesterday’s effort in the mud. Taking the rest of the day to chill out in the old town with the girls and a couple of beers. I will see you Tuesday evening. πŸ‘Œ
Sounds like a blinder. I’m with you on that. I’ve had my hands tied the past couple of years leading HRs on Sunday’s for the 2 hour out and back, having to cater for all, but hoping to step away from that which will allow more options like this. So definitely something I would like to explore. I was a bit worried when I saw you clutching your hamstring at the quiz but glad that was ok too. Excellent running Steve.
