A busy week with 4 runs but no long run this week which is nice. I know you don’t like the Tuesday efforts but ultimately that is the key session. The one which will really make you a better runner. If you do that each week alongside the other work it will transform your running across all distances. So stick with it, i’s worth it. Any problems let me know.

Follow the instructions of the class leader.

Just always listen to the body and don’t push too hard on exercises that are causing discomfort.

Aerobics is now shut until the new year 😢 tried to find another class for tonight but nothing took my fancy. This meant another home workout for me. Definitely didn’t get as much out of this, I had the dog jumping on my head & the boys asking what’s for dinner as they are incapable of cooking 🤦‍♀️ If we could have a home workout I can use if needed that would be great 👍 YouTube is ok but the people can be seriously annoying sometimes
Sounds rather manic 😂. I can get something created no problems. Do you have any weights at home I can include (not essential).

Recoveries: Take 2-3 mins after the 8 min rep and 60s in between the 60 second reps.

A tough 5k session and the challenge is to see if you can hold your 5k pace in the 2nd 8 min rep when the legs are tired and you’re feeling fatigued.

I hate efforts! Definitely finding it easier to go straight after work, no time to sit & relax with a cuppa means no talking myself out of it. The 1min ones were actually ok, the 8min are vile & I curse you with every step 🤣
I kind of like this feedback because they are meant to be tough. A few things that I think might help. Personal targets. So your 5k pace here was around 9:45 per mile, so we can use that as a marker for future sessions and try to beat that. So if you do, see it as a real success and something to celebrate. Also these are the sessions that give us the biggest gains. When we go out for those easy runs, we’re not making huge improvements, but if we work hard for 8 mins (each rep) we will make some big fitness gains, so once a week, these are your opportunity to get much fitter, so it’s a case of just working hard for that short space of time. In the grand scheme of things, what is 8 mins? Really well done Stace. Keep doing them, it’s worth it. I promise. And you can hate me for it.

I needed to give my foot a rest tonight. It’s been bothering me all day 😢
No worries, important to listen to the body and take the rest when you need it. Hope it feels better soon. If the efforts has this effect then I will look to change it up again.

Sounds great fan!! Enjoy. 🥁

The instructors husband was taken into hospital so understandably class was cancelled. I went for a long walk in crappy weather instead. Foot is feeling much better today. It always aches after running on a Sunday so I don’t know if it’s the efforts or maybe 3 days of exercise in a row but something has definitely aggravated it the last couple of weeks. I haven’t got any aerobics for a few weeks so let’s keep efforts in & see if a rest day between the long run & Tuesday session helps.
That’s a shame. But interesting what you say about the foot. It might be that we need to tweak the schedule to ensure you get enough rest after a few days of exercise. I have tweaked next weeks efforts to something a bit more tempo based. See how you get on with that one. It might just be a case of managing the foot, but if you get the chance, when at home or at work keep doing exercises, like ankle circles and rolling on a tennis ball as they are said to really help. If it’s the sole of the foot giving you a problem Jan Young might be worth messaging as she had that problem in the past and is very clued up on the exercises need to help it.

Lovely little run in the sunshine. Foot behaved itself, just a bit niggly but I can run with that 😀
Great job Stacey. Nice to run with the club and it looked like a very enjoyable festive run.

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.

All good this morning 😀 can’t believe I’m still running in a t-shirt in December! Nice start to a Sunday.
Great work Stacey. It’s amazing how mild it has been although think that is about to change now.
