So I’ve added in the gym sessions. Should be able to get them done in under the hour. Tweak the weights. Keep them light to start with, you can always add to them. Worst thing to do is go too heavy and wake up the next day and not be able move. NYD parkrun also an option if you fancied that. Happy New Year Karl. I think 2026 is going to be a great year for you and your running.

Decent session this!! A good all round workout, working all the key muscle group and the fundamental movement patterns.

Didn’t get to the Gym as intended so just did a 30 min legs & core at home.
No worries, the 30 mins legs & core is still a really good workout and the gym pts were only going to be extra. Well done for getting a session done.

Zone 2: Easy

Find a location where you can pick different points on the hill. Lamp posts are great. So for example you would run to the first lamppost and back to the bottom of the hill. Then to the second lamppost and back. Keep making the reps longer until you hit 20 mins, and then start making the reps shorter again.

Focus on effort level rather than pace or heart rate as both will fluctuate depending if you are going up or down the hill

Another tough efforts session.
Your level of performance in training is definitely suggesting some good results are coming your way. Keep it up Karl. Excellent work.

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.

Enjoyable last run of the year. Sunglasses on, Pete Tong Year in Dance blasted up, good run. Thanks for all your help and support this year! Happy New Year Simon
I might have to check out that playlist. I do like a bit of dance but tend to listen to the old stuff. Been a pleasure working with you Karl and really optimistic for what awaits in 2026!!

Zone 2: Easy

Running with others can reduce perceived effort so parkrun is a good option as an alternative speed session. 10 mins easy WU & CD please.

Took it relatively easy
No worries. Given the conditions it would have been risky to be push too hard and run at full pace.
