I appreciate this week we might need to make some changes to the schedule, so just me know if we need to switch anything around. There is a long run with HR on Xmas Eve and also a Christmas Day parkrun that could be options. Then Sunday a group of us are doing the EOY 10 Miler in Staplehurst. If any of them sound appealing just let me know. Merry Christmas Dan. πŸŽ„

A good session to start off with your 5k pace and then pick up the speed as we move into the shorter reps. See if you can finish with your fastest lap in that final rep!!

Another really enjoyable session. Love Mondays and Tuesdays sessions. 😊
So pleased to hear that. These are the ones that make the difference. No surprised there was a smaller turnout given the time of year but that means you are making gains whilst others stall. Excellent session Dan.

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.

Completed 45 mins today being Friday. Had to work Xmas eve and then just ran out of time. 😊
That’s a shame, but I do understand this week can be challenge. Well done for getting out there Dan.

Yes Dan. In terms of the gym, the positives are more machines and weights to choose from. The negative is the time it takes. So an equivalent session in the gym might take 60-75 mins in total. So just bear that in mind about your availability before committing. But if you do have the time I would recommend it.

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.

All done, first fast park run in ages. Little bit disappointed in my time as I know I can run faster but didn’t want to run out of steam for the final stretch so was a little wary at the start but just means plenty to work on in 2026 😊. Great morning though and lovely weather. Nice doing WU and WD runs with Jim. Strides included πŸ˜‡
Well done Dan. What I’ve found with 5ks is you almost need a couple of practice ones first before running a really good time. Because it gets you in the right mindset and helps you pace it perfectly. From what you’ve said it was probably just a case of going off conservatively that effect the overall time. I definitely feel there will be quicker parkruns in 2026. Thanks for doing the WU, CD and strides as well

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.

Back 😳 has to miss today
Sorry to hear this Dan. Hope the back eases off. I know how frustrating a bad back can be. Try and do lots of stretching if you can.
