I will add the fitball and yoga but will wait until we start the new plan to include them. If you do have a list of races up until April that you are planning on doing then let me know. Also any other commitments apart from the India, Sri Lanka trip that would be great. Another strong week to finish your 11th plan, which is more than anyone else on the team, so congratulations for that achievement. That’s something to be proud of and I feel like your running well right now with improved form too.
An OK ish week.
All session completed
Now looking forward to a few weeks with no races so I can concentrate on training.
An excellent week Sue. Yeah the race schedule can be rather hectic and nice to have that spell where the pressure is off and you can focus on the training. But well done, you’re going along very nicely right now.

Hills can really build your strength as well as improve your running form. This session is tough but will really help you make big gains. Use the downhill as a light recovery jog, so exact recovery times can be flexible.
