“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”
I’ve tweaked the schedule and as suggested brought forward the recovery week so you don’t have to worry about the S&C in the hotel and a few days to rest up. It’s still a good week with 3 good runs in the schedule.
The week went ok considering the traveling. I was slightly disappointed to miss parkrun on such a bumper day. Having said that, I woke up at 7am thought about it and fell back to sleep until almost 12! Could have got my strides in too.
97% week. That’s great. Sometimes recovery is more important in truth and I think the fact you didn’t wake til midday highlights that. So parkrun might have actually set you back rather than aided you. That’s 3 good weeks on the spin though, so keep smashing out the training and 2026 could be your best year. Sue M is a great example, as she’s had her ups and downs but she just keeps going, and ultimately she was rewarded for that on Saturday. And personally I think you have the potential to be considerably quicker than her. Not that I’m making a comparison, but just highlighting what you can achieve.

Big session this! But ideal if you have a hilly race coming up. Focus on good form and don’t go off too hard in rep 1, let the hill make it tough. Good luck! You got this. Run tall & proud.
Keep the RPE down, have a chit chat & Don’t forget those strides 😜

XC is hard, but that also means it can be great for improving your fitness if you work at the right intensity.
