I do enjoy these recovery weeks. There is the option to swap parkrun for a 90 mins easy run if you prefer. But often keep the quality in there and reducing the mileage is a good way to treat these lighter weeks. Any problems let me know. Keep up the great work Glenn.

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.

Good, hard-working session
I do love the flow of that session, just as you get back down the hill it’s time to go again, but because the reps are short it feels manageable. Great work again Glenn. Steve who leads the group is a 16:30 5k runner and Sam who you may have spoked to is a sub 19 runner. Also won an ultra 75k race last year, so some really strong runners to be doing these sessions with.

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.

Cold! Took a while to warm up but happy with pace for the second half
Great work Glenn. If anything a bit quick. It seems silly that I would say that but there are benefits that come from running a slower pace that we don’t get if we go too fast. It works the muscles differently and trains our body to use fat as a fuel source. Also keeping the easy runs truly easy means we save energy for those bigger sessions.

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.

Did the first mile at 5k pace but was so windy on the turn round. Looking forward to doing the next parkrun when time allows
Yeah it’s almost impossible to hit our 5k pace into the wind. It can make such a difference, even 30-45 seconds per mile when it’s blowing strongly. I feel like you’re running really well right now and that parkrun PB is under threat when a good opportunity comes your way. Well done Glenn.
