Just a “nice” week. One good speed session, a quick parkrun, then a moderate Sunday run. When you include the strides as well, that’s loads of good quick efforts too, which will definitely help with your form and also activate those lazy fast twitch fibres that will all have but don’t call upon enough. Any problems just shout. The next few weeks look kind with parkrun doing the roll of high efforts, so tick this one off and it should be a good christmas period. Keep up the great work Andy

A good session to do on the track. Really work hard during these reps to try and hit those targets. To get faster over 5k we need to train quicker in sessions like this. Perhaps start at the first bend so the 400s & 800s will begin at the start line. Go get ’em!!
Keep the 40 mins easy and don’t forget those strides. Without them you won’t improve and will fall short of your weekly targets.
parkrun is the best!!! Every Saturday at 9am. A great opportunity to push our effort levels and run alongside other people. Make sure you get there nice and early for your WU & Strides. I normally aim for 8:15 to give myself plenty of time.
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.
