5 POINTS
Recoveries: 30-60s. If time is limited then do 2 exercises together and remove the recoveries.
*Each side (double the reps). So 2 x 30 second Side Planks = 4 in total (2 on each side).
Cheeky little parkrun to keep working on that positive mindset in those tough moments. I want you to focus on km 4. That’s always the hardest. Try and find a mantra which works well in those tough moments and see if you make that km as quick as the others. If you get km 4 then often you’ll run a really strong time. Any problems this week let me know
Apart from Saturday, week went well.
You hit the targets and that’s the most important thing. Don’t overthink Saturday it was just one of those runs, better ahead and what we are ultimately doing now is laying down the foundations for the Spring when the big races come along, so as long as we keep working at a decent level we don’t have to be smashing out PBs right now. Great work Karl.

20 x 60 Seconds @ Fast Pace RPE: 9
(60 Second Recoveries)
10 Mins CD @ Easy Pace RPE: 3
Don’t go off too fast as 20 reps is a lot. You should feel like you’re working at a very high effort level towards the last 15 seconds of each rep. Go get ’em!
Keep the RPE down, have a chit chat & Don’t forget those strides 😜

15 minutes. Bish. Bash. Bosh. Add some weights once ready to progress with some of the exercises.
“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”
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.
80 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
Try and keep it easy. It all depends on your current level. If slowly adding time to your long run the last 10-20 mins might be tough. Focus on good form.
