  • December 1st - 7th

130pts the target this week which is an excellent level to be training at. Another shorter rep session, albeit the hills will restrict the pace but it’s a good session that, keep the recoveries to 60 seconds to get the full benefit. You’re smashing it Lou, keep up the hard work and those improvements will continue to follow.

Body Pump

A really good way to get your S&C in. A full body workout with barbells will really aid your running and reduce the risk of injury.

30 Mins Swim

9 POINTS

30 Mins Swimming @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

Enjoy. Swimming is a great alternative to running and probably the best form of cross training.

40 Mins & Strides

16 POINTS

40 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

8 x 100 metre Strides (RPE: 8)
60 Second Recoveries

Keep the 40 mins easy and don’t forget those strides. Without them you won’t improve and will fall short of your weekly targets.

TR 80%
Good run and swim. No problems other than no time for the strides!
Well done Lou. What I would say if time is an issue in this scenario. The better option is to do 10 mins less running and then do the strides. In terms of training pts is only 1 difference, but every point counts right? 😂 As mentioned if you can find another 10 mins of cross training later in the week that will make up for the strides.

20 x 30 Sec Hills

10 Mins WU @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

1 x 30 Second Hill Rep (RPE: 9)
60 Seconds Downhill @ Easy Pace (RPE: 4)
x 20

10 Mins CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

Great session as hill reps force you to run with good form, lifting the knees higher and really driving the elbows back. Work hard for the 30 seconds uphill, recovery back down for 60 seconds.

Tough set that. Tried not to go out too fast, managed to get progressively quicker. Tried to stick with 60sec walk/run recovery by counting (didn’t want to record it as wanted to know my pace for the 30 sec rep) not far off, just a little over. Quite pleased with that. Is the pace ok? Not sure what I should have been aiming for.
That pace is swift. Really impressive. I think it’s one of those sessions not to get too bogged down in pace. Focus on working hard and good form, then the pace takes care of itself really. But yes looks like you did a great session, so very happy. It would also be a big test of the calves, so the fact they were strong today, based on not mentioning them in the feedback is great. This is a session I would have been terrified of giving you a few months back. Excellent work Lou

All good. Calves are tight but ok
Great work Lou, perhaps a few extra stretches for those calves if you can. Foam rolling can be good too.

A good way to boost cardio whilst reducing the risk of injury. The elliptical can tone muscles and improve endurance whilst being gentle on your joints.

30 min elliptical plus strides. Managed to fit them in 😊. I’m doing lots of stretching the calves
Well done Lou, good job on squeezing in the strides and the extra stretches, hopefully they loosen up.

Pushing beyond that 2 hour barrier is a good mental win. Important to be fuelling and staying hydrated on these runs.

I got it done. Very heavy sore legs / DOMS from the hill reps I think, but that’s all it is, no signs of injury. Disappointed I had to take rest breaks but at one point I wondered if I’d even complete it, so the fact I did it is a win. Furthest I’ve ran in a while.
Brilliant effort Lou!! It’s great to see that progress and also I like the fact having that awareness of your body and what is DOMS and potentially a niggle or injury. Also a big win mentally, that’s a long time to run for at this time of year. You should be really pleased with this run.
