First decent marathon session of the block. Feeling a bit jealous but hoping I’ll be fine to start smashing out those sort of sessions in a few weeks. Any problems let me know but keep up the great work. Running really well right now.

130 Points Target
115 Points Achieved

Overall happy with the week.

Disappointed that I didn’t get either of the S&C sessions in, but very happy with how the runs went!

I’d always rather you focus on the running in a week where time is limited and you got all 4 done which is great. If you can’t manage the 30 mins S&C but have 10 mins free, then you can always smash out a quick core workout or leg workout. Every few mins helps. But all in all, especially given how well Sunday’s session went, I’m happy with this week. Great running Jamie.

Unfortunately another late finish at work, so planned to do this Saturday instead. Saturday also turned into a very long day with the kids so the reschedule didn’t happen either 🀦
No worries. Sometimes I appreciate this will be the case and it’s not like missing a bit session. A few of these over the course of a plan isn’t going to do much damage to your marathon hopes, if any. Appreciate the feedback.

That was very hard work, but a good session! The wind definitely didn’t help matters πŸ˜– I feel I just about hit paces, but that was full effort – had nothing left at the end of that πŸ˜†
Really well done Jamie. Much tougher solo. But we want to be working at that level in these sessions to ensure the gains happen. Then take advantage of the easy runs by keeping the pace gentle. Another strong workout though so really please. Shame you couldn’t join us as Sam D was back yesterday and he’s a 19 min 5k runner so would have been a perfect target for you. He’s due to do Tuesday evenings for a while now so hopefully you’ll get the opportunity to train with him and the group.

A solid 60 mins easy – back to feeling comfortable during these again!
Good to hear. As we head into marathon training it should see the endurance improve, making these 60 mins runs easier. Well done Jamie.

Again, another late finish! Getting into silly season at work now, so unfortunately things like this will happen for a while πŸ˜– I had hoped to have at least the one S&C session on Saturday, but as we now know, that didn’t happen either 😬
Ah nuts. I appreciate there will be weeks like this and I would always say focus on the running. Thanks for the feedback though as it does help.

This was a fantastic session! Very happy with how the reps went – I aimed for 4:30 to give sub 3:15 marathon pace a try and hit faster on all bar one rep – and felt good the whole run!
Some hugely impressive splits there. An excellent session and some bonus points banked for hitting some great paces. Well done Jamie.
