We’ve made it to a recovery week. It’s up to you how you tackle the Pudding Dash. At the moment I’ve got it down as a high effort run, but happy to change that if you plan just to turn up and enjoy the race. Conditions might be pretty horrific in truth. Any problems though let me know, but nice to reach a recovery week and have a slightly easier schedule. Keep up the great work Kirsty.

Dead Bugs

Flutter Kicks

Side Planks

Recoveries: 30-60s. If time is limited then do 2 exercises together and remove the recoveries.

*Each side (double the reps). So 2 x 30 second Side Planks = 4 in total (2 on each side).

Did you think I’d forgotten? Got this done eventually 💪🍊 I’ve popped 30 because little man was in with us from 2am 🥴so I couldn’t face S&C first thing!
You never forget these days. You’re a changed person. Some weeks you could always double these up on another day with a run if Monday isn’t possible. But well done for smashing them out. Hope you catch up on that sleep.

Zone 2: Easy

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.

Got a pb in 1k 🫣 that was good!!! Also I mucked up popping in to garmin-so sorry about the last 8min (I only put 3mins in) all in all super happy with that effort!
The pace was great though right? Sub 25 pace in that final rep. So even if it was a bit short the quicker pace would have made up for the lost time. Another cracking session Kirsty. Running the best I’ve seen since we teamed up which is oh so exciting for 2026.

Zone 2: Easy

8 x 100 Meter Strides

Zone 7: 3K

If you have an accurate heart rate, then use that as your main data to determine pace, if not RPE is the best option. Hills are always going to cause them to go too high, unless you are super fit. Finish off with some strides.

20min, strides, 6mins, TWR. The wind out the girls off, it was so windy tonight!!!! I owe you 4mins! Will pop on Sunday!
Love the fact you track those 4 mins. That makes me happy. It might seem trivial but it does make a difference. Well done on the strides and another TWR. Never much fun out there in the wind. Great work Kirsty.

WWWOOOOOOO another one bites the dust! S&C, yeah you know it’s easy into fit in innit!!!! 😆🫣💪
Hell yeah. You know what, these could be one of the main reasons your paces are improving in training, because consistently ticking these off has made you stronger than ever before. Imagine if you stick with strength work, you could continue to get stronger for the next 2,3, crikey even 4 years. They do say the strength work we do today is for ourselves in 5 years time. Great work Kirsty.

Zone 2: Easy

Keep this nice and easy. Focus on good form & efficient running economy. RPE should be around the 3/10 which means you can run and chat.

These LRs are not going well at the moment….i wonder if it’s the route. But I am completly not beating myself up…..week training is going well and LR will pick up again! Can’t say I’m massively looking forward to next Sundays! 🤣🫤🥴
I’ll be honest, I’m not a fan of the Ridge. Would pick the seafront every time or even run laps around the park, over and over. I know it’s tough at this time of year given the time of day and the darkness, so keep plugging away, you’re going great.
