I put two really light weeks in this plan because it’s 24 weeks. Originally I had set the target as 60pts, but then I thought “I know Lou better than that now”, she’ll want to do more, so I’ve compromised at 90. If you wanted to add in a Sunday run instead of one of the cross training sessions that can be done. I’ve listened to your feedback about shorter reps and included some 400s. Just approach with a bit of caution, short reps like this on a cold day, especially if not warmed up properly can cause a problem. So go for 80% and consistency rather than pushing too hard. Any problems let me know.

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.

Good class

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

Well done Lou, love the variety in your training plan.

Zone 2

The biggest mistake we can make with these recovery runs is running too fast. This will mean when our harder sessions come round we are still fatigued and not able to put enough effort in to make the necessary gains.

Calves still very tight and sore, other than that felt good
Sorry to hear that. Keep an eye on those, especially that 200 metre session, we don’t want anything going pop. So just be extra carefully. I’m finding foam rolling is helping me. Why they call it “foam” rolling I don’t know as it’s so uncomfortable. But well done Lou for getting out there.

400s are tough. Don’t push too hard, try to keep the lap times consistent. Run tall and stay relaxed. Let’s go!

Calves not too bad, slowly improving. Didnโ€™t go all out. Got it done. Horrible strong wind on the seafront but at least it wasnโ€™t raining!
Great splits. 6:45 average when the targets currently say 7:21. That’s exciting, especially as you said you held back a little. Fantastic running Lou and glad the calves feel ok. I’m really pleased with this session and again backs up how well you are running right now. You should be very happy. Great job.

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. You might find you have to work quite hard to get your heart rate in Zone 2.

All good ๐Ÿ˜Š
Great work Lou!! Tallying up those points nicely again this week. Have you ever tried the stair master? Found out through using it myself this week just how beneficial it is. 20 mins on there is worth 40 mins on the elliptical if you get the level right. Something to possibly consider if you want to switch things up or ever have less time.

30 Mins & Strides

30 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

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

Sometimes a 30 minute shake out can help recovery or just give you some much needed head space. Keep it easy. Strides are crucial here.

All good until the 8th stride. Pulled my left hamstring ๐Ÿ˜ข. No warning signs, happened out of the blue. Perhaps it was compensating for the calf? The left calf is worse than the right.
****!! Really hope it’s nothing too bad. I did look at the splits and Strava suggests that last one was considerably quicker. I’m not saying that to blame you, but just something to consider going forward. What I see a lot at track and the efforts is people going crazy on the last rep and almost sprinting, and that’s the point their muscles are more vulnerable having been worked hard. So always keep the pace as consistent as possible for strides and intervals. Maybe the fact the run was only 30 mins as well meant you were not as warmed up, so I could be to blame for that. Fingers crossed it’s heals quicker, sometimes they can.
