Another good week. I’ve made the assumption the Pudding Dash will be run at a high effort, let me know if that isn’t the case. The only concern here is we have 5 days on the spin, albeit a rest from running when the S&C comes in on Thursday. So if possible it might be worth tweaking it slightly. I always stick to the original plan as there’s a chance it’s set that way from previous communication. But keep up the great work Michelle.

As always a day at work and a day of rest from exercise, always good for me 😊
Work sounds more tiring that the exercising to me 😂

I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to make the evening session so went along to track to ensure I got my session done. When I got there I realised some of the others had a different set to do, assuming mine was for what the evening session is going to be so I switched and done the same as the others. Hope that’s ok ? I worked really hard on the 100, 200, 400, 800 x 3 with WU and CD. I actually didn’t mind this session at all and felt strong. Think my pace was pretty good over all. Really pleased to have got it done 😊 good start to the week !
Hi Michelle, you did the right thing. What I’ve done on this occasion is make sure that the sessions, whether it be Monday track, Tuesday track or Tuesday pm all have the same training points. That way it doesn’t really matter which one you do as you’ll still get the same benefits. Really well done on working hard and getting this session completed.

60 Mins & Strides

22 POINTS

Pretty much the same as last week. I was not feeling it tonight after being at work today and my legs were a bit empty after track yesterday but I got out the door and really enjoyed it 😊 the climb from silver hill all the way up battle road to Banatynes along to Fletcher avenue to see all the Christmas lights 🎄 was really nice. Back down battle road and the climb back up to silverhill. So plenty of hills. Felt good and did not struggle which felt good. A solid 6 miles banked 😊 really pleased I keep pushing myself even when I feel I could quite easily miss a session …. But won’t 😊
It’s great to hear that when you do get out there you actually feel strong. So it’s just that mental fatigue and overcoming that first battle with the head. I think this is where the plan and accountability really help as no-one would know if you’re weren’t on plan and these runs all contribute to the fitness. Excellent work Michelle.

Michelle's S&C

15 POINTS

Later in the day than hoped for due to going in to work on day off for training. So a little tired, usually do this session first thing after school drop off. Good session feeling a little bit stronger with the weights when doing chest press, at the start of doing s&c sessions I would struggle more when including the weights. So I know there is a little progress 😊
Great work Michelle. You know what, these can be a slog, but when you start to see that progress it can be really rewarding. Keep ticking them off and you will continue to see those improvements.

70 Mins Run

21 POINTS

A really great festive run 🎄 easy miles and really sociable which was great. Finished off with a cuppa and cake in the cafe afterwards. I forgot to stop my watch so my pace looks terrible but that was the walking 😂 silly me maybe not the full 70 mins and not the miles I would usually bank in the time but we had lots of stops chatting to people on route. Just a really nice run all in all
Sometimes it’s good to have a run like this to break up the serious nature of training. Looked a lot of fun, so well done Michelle.

Well what can I say 😂 that was an experience and half !! Loved it and totally embraced the mud feast !! It was slow to getting going, stop start etc due to being caught up with lots of people and those caution of the mud….. not me 😆 I just ploughed straight through the middle of it all. I took this seriously and really tried to push on where I could when it wasn’t dangerous. I felt strong and never stopped or waked once. I was really surprised and happy to be ahead of a lot of people I never expected to be. I’m sure they most probably was on their A game today and that was the reason but I was still super happy with my run 😊
Fantastic work Michelle. Sounds like you had such a good time and also ran a really strong race. I walked a lot of the route beforehand so appreciate just how challenging it was with the mud and hills, so to get round there without walking is very impressive. Another great race ticked off.
